Accessibility

We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website. For example, that means you should be able to:

change colours, contrast levels and fonts
zoom in up to 300% without the text spilling off the screen
navigate most of the website using just a keyboard
navigate most of the website using speech recognition software
listen to most of the website using a screen reader (including the most recent versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver)

We’ve also made the website text as simple as possible to understand.

AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.

We know some parts of this website are not fully accessible:

The map on the home page is not fully accessible. The information on library service fines is made available on the data page, and this is signposted on the home page as an alternative.

This website has been manually tested using the guide published by the Government Digital Service, doing a basic accessibility check.

The site has also been checked using WAVE, an online web accessibility evaluation tool.

If you do experience any problems using this website, please do raise these and send us an email.
