Please note: this English version is a reading aid. Only the German Erklärung zur Barrierefreiheit is legally binding.

Bücherei Eyachtal, the operator of this website, endeavours to make it accessible in accordance with the national legislation implementing Directive (EU) 2016/2102 of the European Parliament and of the Council.
This statement applies to the website at https://www.owbib.de.

State of compliance with the requirements

This website is partially compliant with the level AA requirements of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 and with the applicable European standard EN 301 549 V2.1.2 (2018-08).
The non-compliances set out below will be addressed at the latest when the website is next fundamentally revised.

Content that is not accessible

• Alternative text for images and objects:
  Some images, particularly those that are the sole content of a link, carry no descriptive alt text.

• Form elements and labels:
  Several form fields and select fields (<select>) are not correctly marked up with a label or aria attribute. This makes them hard to operate for people using a screen reader.

• Language of the document:
  On several pages the lang attribute is either missing or not set correctly, which impairs correct pronunciation by screen readers.

• Links with no visible link text:
  There are clickable links that contain no visible or comprehensible text. These cannot be used by people with assistive technology.

• Outdated HTML markup:
  On at least one page outdated HTML is used (<center>, for instance), which is no longer permitted under modern web standards.

Planned measures

We are currently working on removing these barriers step by step – so far as our purely voluntary work in our free time allows. Accessibility is improved continually within our means.

Note: the website is looked after by an entirely voluntary team. Please understand if particular measures cannot be carried out immediately.

Accessibility test

Accessibility was tested on 29 June 2025 by automated analysis with pa11y.
