Web Accessibility & ADA Compliance Remediation
Web Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The library's website and digital portals have documented accessibility gaps that must be remediated under WCAG/ADA requirements, with a compliance deadline of end-of-2026 and legal exposure extending to April 2028. A web hosting contract expiring in June 2026 compounds urgency, creating overlapping risk for public service delivery and legal standing.
The opportunity
The convergence of a hard compliance deadline, an expiring hosting contract, and a board-approved budget allocation for ADA and technology upgrades creates a rare, time-bound window for action. Funding pathways through IMLS and digital equity programs may offset costs, and acting now reduces legal exposure while advancing equitable public access.

High Priority
About this project
The library lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan, documented preparedness exercises, and library-specific mass-notification governance. Reliance on county-level emergency alert infrastructure leaves staff and patrons without tailored, institution-level response protocols.
The opportunity
Federal grant programs, including FEMA HSGP and BRIC, offer funding pathways that could offset implementation costs within the current grant cycle. Addressing these gaps now reduces compliance and safety risk while establishing the preparedness infrastructure needed to protect staff, patrons, and public trust.

High Priority
About this project
The library's 2024–2026 strategic plan includes a budget-approved initiative to modernize technology, improve accessibility, and evolve digital services—yet ADA/WCAG compliance gaps and an expiring web hosting contract create compounding operational and legal risk. Failure to act exposes the library to potential legal liability and limits equitable public access to digital resources.
The opportunity
A mandated ADA web accessibility deadline, an expiring hosting contract, and an upcoming leadership transition create a defined window for action within the current strategic and fiscal cycle. Funding pathways—including library-focused federal grants and cooperative purchasing—can reduce local cost burden while advancing compliance and community outcomes.
