We’re Committed to Digital Accessibility
John C. Hart Memorial Library is committed to facilitating digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone, and applying the relevant accessibility standards.
Accessibility On Our Website
The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) defines suggested guidelines for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. We have taken steps to incorporate the WCAG guidelines into its website for improved usability. Accessibility is an ongoing effort and we continue to work to incorporate accessibility into the website.
Our website is tested on a periodic basis with assistive technology such as screen readers and screen magnifiers.
The following is a list of items we have included in our website to improve its accessibility:
- Our website design has a mobile-responsive version.
- Our brand colors were intentionally selected for color contrast.
- Skip navigation links have been incorporated to facilitate keyboard navigation and to bypass content on a page, allowing users to jump directly to the main content.
- Our website declares a language in the header.
- Structural markup to indicate expected section containers, headings, lists, and buttons has been provided to make our content more understandable and “skim-able” by all users, regardless of device.
- A warning is provided before links open in a new tab or window.
Please note that while we make reasonable efforts to provide information accessible for all users, we cannot guarantee the accessibility of third-party websites to which we may link.
