The WCAG Rule requires state and local governments to ensure that their services, programs, and activities are accessible to people with disabilities. Public libraries’ web services and mobile apps must be WCAG 2.1, Level AA compliant within three to four years of when the rule was published on April 24, 2024, depending on their service population. This program will cover what libraries need to do to achieve this compliance.
