Effective Date: April 19, 2026

Madison Public Library is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for all users, including individuals with disabilities. We strive to provide an inclusive and user-friendly experience for everyone who visits our website.

Our Commitment

We are actively working to increase the accessibility and usability of our website and aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA standards wherever possible. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with a wide range of disabilities, including visual, auditory, motor, and cognitive disabilities.

Accessibility is an ongoing effort, and we continually review our website to identify and address potential accessibility barriers.

Measures We Take

To support accessibility, we:

  • Use clear and consistent navigation
  • Provide alternative text for meaningful images
  • Ensure sufficient color contrast
  • Use semantic HTML structure for screen reader compatibility
  • Strive to make forms accessible and properly labeled
  • Test website functionality using keyboard navigation

Third-Party Content

Our website may include links to third-party platforms, such as Google Forms or other external websites. While we encourage accessibility across all platforms, we cannot guarantee the accessibility of third-party content. We recommend reviewing the accessibility policies of those providers for more information.

Ongoing Improvements

We are committed to continuous improvement. As technology and standards evolve, we will continue to assess and enhance the accessibility of our website.

If you experience difficulty accessing any content on our website, or if you need information in an alternative format, please contact us. We welcome your feedback and will make reasonable efforts to accommodate your needs.
