I'm far from being a website #accessibility expert but I've been learning the past few months and as of a week ago I've got our local rural regional library's website up to a solid result according to the IBM Accessibilty Checker extension for Mozilla. There are still some improvements to be made but we're getting there. The Silktide extension is another excellent tool for checking and learning about website accessibility.

The last time I looked there were no other Missouri library websites even close to passing which is a shame. Very few websites I've checked pass.

Also, look at all the cool stuff my local library does! Use your local library and volunteer if you can. I can think of no other social space as important as a #library in a society that strives for continuing #education, #learning #literacy, #democracy and anything resembling #freedom.

Be a part of yours!

A few other notes about the website:

- Static, hand coded html/css.
- Almost no javascript. I think at this point, the only javascript is the jotform links.
- The html for most pages come in at under 15kb. Even with images our site loads up fast even on slow rural internet.

At this point all of my sites are accessible though they could all use improvement. I'm still learning. You don't know what you don't know.

And they're all hand coded to be efficient and quick to load. Almost 100% free of javascript. The last thing I need to do over the next year or two is to get them all free of Google fonts. A mistake I made years ago.

Sed can change your fonts in bulk once you decide what to change to.
