Library website down?
Posted by jodiepodie2@reddit | Dallas | View on Reddit | 16 comments
Fellow library users, is the website down for you? It is coming up as the domain is expired for me on every browser i use. I haven’t seen any news reports and i don’t have social media besides reddit.

Yeahhh having the same issues, spurred on by having to verify my card on Libby so now I can’t use it 😭 Hopefully it gets handled shortly!

I hope they took back their domain instead of someone squatting on it - The domain name shows as having private registration now, instead of a technical contact and so forth being directly listed, but I'm not sure if it was like that before.
It was originally registered on April 4th, 2000, and shows that it was updated about 8 AM this morning ( 2026-04-09T12:57:16.177Z ), so it may have expired about five days ago.

Dallaslibrary.org now redirects to a “parked URL” page, so it looks like there might be a glitch with renewing domain registration…

weird mine's working fine, maybe try clearing your cache or something

I thought that too so i tried on a different device and its the same thing. I can get on to the librarymarket site which shows all the events. But the actual site which hosts your account, i am unable to access as it says domain has expired. And this is when going directly from the link in browser search results.

Im having the same issue on my mobile phone but on my desktop the website works.

So weird, i’ve tried desktop as well and same issue. Library market and overdrive work but not the main catalog site. I’ll check in later to see if it somehow fixes itself for me.
ConsiderationDue865@reddit
Yeah I’m having trouble accessing the catalog myself regardless of desktop or mobile. I asked Izzy and they said it was down but should be up and running soon.

Ok thank you!!!

Hey, just last night I was trying to set up a Libby account and my pin wasn’t working. So I go to Dallas library website and do password reset email but it never comes through. Wait, the Libby again anyway, nothing. Do email reset again, no email. Try again today just now and the whole website is down for me. Same thing, marketplace works when I was troubleshooting things just now
But I’m guessing a system error? Started last night or before that and they realized it by now and have shut some things down to fix it? It’s worth overcoming the bystander effect if you need their services quickly to call and make sure they’re aware
I’m just checking out books so I’ll chill and let it come back online eventually

I get a 404 error when I try to go there via my browser (Google chrome); but if I eliminate the portions to the url that Google attaches to reflect the search and just request the straight link, it's fine.

It's down. Google "is it down" and use one of those websites.
