Website Accessibility

Nederland Community Library is fully committed to providing accessible facilities, elements, and channels of communication to all members of the public. As part of this commitment, Nederland Community Library has a policy of providing an accessible website compatible with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.1) and commercial screen reading software. We are working to make all features of the website coded to allow individuals with vision and other impairments to understand and use the website to the same degree as someone without disabilities. We welcome feedback and can often resolve issues in a timely manner if they arise.

If you need any special assistance or accommodations, please contact our accessibility officer or call us at 303-258-1101.

Service Animals

Nederland Community Library welcomes service animals to our facilities. Per the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), service animals are canines and miniature horses ONLY. All service animals must always be under the handler’s control and they must have a harness, leash, or other tether unless handler’s disability prohibits their use or if the animal’s tasks would be directly hindered by such equipment.

An animal that primarily provides emotional support, comfort and/or companionship for a person with a disability is not considered a service animal and is not allowed at the Nederland Community Library due to safety concerns.

Service animals that enter the library are expected to behave. If a service animal misbehaves and/or creates an unsafe environment for customers and staff, Library staff reserves the right to ask the handler to leave and return without the service animal. This can include barking, growling, jumping, running, being over-friendly, or relieving themselves.
