Accessibility
Built for everyone who works the desk
Library staff and volunteers should be able to run their schedule no matter how they use a computer. We build Stacks to WCAG 2.1 AA — the standard US public libraries reference for Section 508.
What's in place today
Verified on every release with automated accessibility testing:
- Color contrast that meets WCAG AA, in both light and dark themes
- Keyboard-operable controls, built on accessible UI primitives
- Semantic structure: meaningful headings, page landmarks, and a skip-to-content link
- Labeled forms and controls
- Reflows to small screens and supports browser zoom past 200%
- Respects your system light/dark and reduced-motion settings
Still in progress
We're completing a structured manual screen-reader and keyboard audit of every core flow. When it's done we'll publish a detailed Accessibility Conformance Report (VPAT) covering WCAG 2.1 AA and Section 508. Until then we report only what we've verified, rather than claim full conformance early.
