Web Accessibility Policy

Purpose
The Web Accessibility Policy outlines our philosophy and guidelines to meet Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 AA by July 1, 2024, and WCAG 2.2 AA by July 1, 2025, as mandated in Colorado House Bill 21-1110.
Scope
The Lone Cone Library is committed to delivering digital experiences that work for all users under all circumstances. We will forever be committed to this journey, as we value each visitor's access to web content produced by the Library. This includes the loneconelibrary.org website, district documents and the content found within our digital archive.
This standard does not apply to web content or district documents produced by the Library before July 1, 2024.
As a public library, we hire the services of over 30 web vendors to supply an array of digital content to our patrons. The Library will ensure third-party content providers know of our web accessibility policy, and we will favor providers based on their accessibility conformance claims. While we cannot control the accessibility of content provided by third parties, we are happy to assist any public member with reading and accessing content on our site.

Compliance and Compliance Officer
The Library will review all areas of Library-produced web applications and web content on an ongoing basis.The Library has designated the Assistant Library Director, as its compliance officer for website disability-related accommodations. The compliance officer has received training in website accessibility and maintains Library-produced web content per WCAG 2.1 AA best practices.
Report an Accessibility Issue
Should a visitor need help accessing Library-supplied web content, please contact us. We will respond with feedback within three days of submission and ensure proper steps are taken to address the problem. Please be specific when describing the information you seek or the problem you encountered. If we cannot resolve the problem due to an issue stemming from a third-party content provider, we will work to assist you with reading and accessing content on these platforms.
