Quick answer

Alexandria Public Library aims to align its website with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). If you meet a barrier, email info@alexandrialibrary.org or call (740) 924-3561; the library aims to respond within 3–5 business days and can provide information through alternative channels.

Our approach

The library aims to align with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), the internationally recognized standard for digital accessibility. Accessibility is an ongoing process, and the library reviews and improves its website over time as technologies, standards and user needs evolve.

Built into this site

  • A “Skip to main content” link and clear landmarks (header, navigation, main, footer).
  • Full keyboard navigation with a visible focus outline on every link, button and form field.
  • Text and interface colours chosen to meet a 4.5:1 contrast ratio.
  • Labelled form fields with clear required markers and status messages.
  • Motion that switches off automatically when your device asks for reduced motion.
  • Pages that zoom to 200% and reflow on small screens without losing content.
