Ensuring that our webpage content is available to patrons with disabilities is very important to us. Below are a few steps taken to make different aspect of the site accessible:
Text size: The ability to change text size is already built into modern web browers and our code is built to take advantage of that. By pressing Ctrl+ or Ctrl-(minus) on your keyboard, the browser text will get larger or smaller.
Alternate pages for screen readers: If you're using a screen reader, you'll have a link at the top of the page that will bring you to the alternate version. If you're not using a screen reader, you can click the Print Guide or Print Page links to get to the print version of the page which is the accessible version. Accessible versions of pages strip out a lot of the column/box formatting on each page in order for screen readers and their users to know/read/navigate what's on the page.
Adaptive technology: Standard pages have hidden links that can only be "seen" by those using adaptive technology and not standard browsers.
Image descriptions: Short descriptions of images are added using HTML output accessible-technologies, e.g. ALT tags.
