The Library is working to update and maintain web content to be in compliance with Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA standards by April 26, 2027. Updates and improvements are constantly in progress to ensure our content is up-to-date and accessible.

Third-Party Databases and Platforms

The Enoch Pratt Free Library provides access to a variety of third-party digital databases, websites, ebooks, and other digital resources to customers and cardholders. Portions of the interface, display tools, and system functionality are controlled by these vendors and may not be fully customizable by Library staff. We are committed to working with our platform providers to:

• Review available accessibility documentation
• Understand platform accessibility features and limitations
• Advocate for accessibility improvements and updates
• Configure available accessibility settings where possible.
