Limitations and alternatives

Despite our best efforts to ensure accessibility of the Whippanong Library website, there may be some limitations. Below is a description of known limitations and potential solutions. Please contact us if you observe an issue not listed below.

Known limitations:

  1. Embedded events calendar: On https://www.whippanong.org/events-calendar we embed information from the third-party service Engaged Patrons. Because the calendar is hosted externally, we cannot control all accessibility features on that page.
  2. PDFs: You will still find a number of PDFs on our website. While technically not ideal, they have been reviewed and tested with Adobe Pro for accessibility.
  3. YouTube video: There is a link to an externally hosted video that does not meet all accessibility requirements (no transcript, auto-captions missing punctuation).

If you experience difficulty using the events calendar or reading our PDFs, please contact us at 973-428-2460 or email us at general@whippanong.org and we will be happy to assist you.
