Web Accessibility: Getting Started

Accessibility Working Group

Marmot Library network is providing a meeting space for library staff working on accessibility issues to share notes and collaborate. Starting Thursday, April 4 and running through July, Marmot will provide an Accessibility Working Group meeting space via Zoom at 3:30-4:30pm on Thursday afternoons. These meetings will not have an agenda coordinated by Marmot staff; they are a place for library staff to work together on issues related to accessibility.

If you are interested in attending these working group meetings, please fill out this form or check the Marmot Meetings & Webinars calendar for connection details.
