Technical specifications

Accessibility of the Moniteau County Library website relies on the following technologies to work with the particular combination of web browser and any assistive technologies or plugins installed on your computer:

  • HTML

  • WAI-ARIA

  • CSS

  • JavaScript

These technologies are relied upon to ensure conformance with the accessibility standards in use.

Known Limitations

  • 5/7/2026: Calendar Widget — Invalid ARIA Attribute

    The site's calendar feature contains an invalid aria-role attribute (the correct attribute is role). This is generated by a third-party component embedded in the platform and cannot be remediated at the site level. This issue is noted for transparency and will be corrected if a platform update resolves it.

    WCAG Reference: 4.1.2 Name, Role, Value (Level A)

  • 5/7/2026: Programmatic failure within the Contact Form under SC 1.4.3 with the computed foreground value (rgb(110, 110, 110)) and the background (rgb(255, 255, 255)The failure is caused by inline opacity rather than a direct low-contrast color assignment. This is an error inherent to Squarespace's default forms.

  • 5/7/2026 Google Maps has an inherent issue with informative images not having accessible names. This is out of the reach of local developers and must be addressed by Google. This is a known issue with Google Maps.
