The mission of the Yorktown Public Library is to provide access to and maintain a variety of current materials and services to meet the educational, informational and recreational needs of the community. It is the mission of the library staff to provide courteous and prompt service to all library patrons and to promote awareness of library resources and services.
The Board of Trustees and the staff of the Yorktown Public Library recognize the impact of technology upon the lives of the community. So that we may continue to provide a high standard of public service, the Yorktown Public Library offers a variety of electronic services to supplement traditional services.
Yorktown Public Library is fully committed to providing accessible facilities, elements and
channels of communication to all members of the public. As part of this commitment, Yorktown Public Library
has a policy of providing an accessible website compatible with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.1) and
commercial screen reading software. All features of the website are 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:
Yorktown Public Library has designated a compliance officer for website disability-related accommodations.
The compliance officer has received training in website accessibility and updates the site in accordance with those best
practices. Contact our accessibility officer to report an issue.
Compliance Procedures and Reports
In addition to testing with users with a wide range of disabilities and coding our website to WCAG standards,
Yorktown Public Library regularly scans its website to ensure ongoing compliance, and makes timely
changes to any inaccessible changes, if any are found.
