We are committed to Website Accessibility

Our accessibility policy was approved by the Nederland Community Library board of directors on March 20, 2024. Read the policy here.

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.
