Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The library faces an active WCAG/ADA compliance mandate with a deadline extended from April 2024, creating legal exposure and jeopardizing federal funding eligibility. Ongoing website redesign and digital services transition efforts confirm this as a live operational priority requiring remediation of web and document content.
The opportunity
A stable funding base from a millage renewal through 2030, combined with IMLS grant eligibility for accessibility initiatives, supports near-term investment. Acting within the current 2026–2027 budget cycle reduces legal risk and ensures equitable digital access for all community members.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The library lacks a comprehensive Emergency Operations Plan, has no library-level mass notification system, and relies on an outdated, untested COVID-19 preparedness plan. These gaps expose staff and the public to significant operational and safety risk during incidents.
The opportunity
Identified grant programs, including FEMA BRIC and HSGP, provide direct funding paths to address these preparedness gaps with limited local match required. Acting within the current grant window strengthens incident coordination, reduces institutional liability, and advances the library's Emergency Management & Public Safety strategic initiative.

Identity & Access Management · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
Mixed email address usage across the organization signals a fragmented identity environment, creating unmanaged access risks and credential governance gaps. A concurrent third-party security installation at the Township level underscores a broader, uncoordinated security posture that elevates operational and compliance exposure.
The opportunity
The identified credential fragmentation represents an addressable gap within the current budget cycle, with cooperative procurement pathways available to reduce cost and administrative burden. Consolidating identity management now strengthens security posture, supports audit readiness, and improves stewardship of public data and systems.
