EpbRI offers ongoing website accessibility monitoring and remediation services designed specifically for public libraries and municipalities. We help ensure your website remains usable for all patrons while reducing risk and staff burden.
Updated federal accessibility requirements for public entities take effect in April 2026 for communities of more than 50,000 people and April 2027 for communities under 50,000 people. These updated requirements explicitly include public library and municipal websites, referencing WCAG 2.1 Level AA as the applicable technical standard.
Regular scans using industry-standard tools to identify new or recurring issues and track trends over time.
Human testing of key pages and common patron tasks that automated tools cannot reliably evaluate.
Identification of high-impact issues and practical guidance on how to resolve them within your existing platform.
Drafting and updating a public accessibility statement with a clear method for patrons to request help or report barriers.
Ongoing logs of testing performed, issues identified, and remediation steps taken, suitable for internal reporting and demonstrating good-faith effort.
Practical guidance and materials to help staff avoid introducing accessibility issues when posting or updating content.
This service is designed to help you show proactive, documented accessibility efforts without requiring in-house technical expertise. It does not certify legal compliance, provide legal advice, or replace review by counsel.
