What makes the web accessible? During this session, we’ll build awareness around web accessibility and work through practical tips for creating everyday digital content that is accessible to all users. These tips are for anyone who sends email, creates documents, or maintains online content—no specific technical expertise is required.

This session is part of our yearlong Room for Everyone series of programs supporting library accessibility. To view all the programs in this series, please view the Accessibility programs on our event calendar.

This public program is made possible by federal Library Service and Technology Act funds from the Institute of Museum and Library Services, which enable the New York State Library to champion lifelong learning.
