The McHenry Public Library District strives to ensure that its building and website are accessible to people with disabilities and continually improves the patron experience for everyone, applying relevant accessibility standards.

The MPLD complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 as amended and offers alternative reasonable compliance to meet its requirements.  Accordingly, the Library makes reasonable accommodations in library policies, practices, and procedures, as well as offering equipment when necessary to avoid discrimination on the basis of disability, unless a fundamental alteration in a Library program would result, and operates its services, programs, and activities so that, when viewed in their entirety, are readily accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities.  The Library provides equal access to persons with disabilities, including those individuals who use Service Animals.--Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Compliance Policy  (adopted 06/02/1997; revised 10/15/2019)
