Accessibility Statement
Our commitment to making this website usable by everyone
Last reviewed: 26 Aug 2026
This statement applies to the Greek Library of London's catalogue and membership website. We want as many people as possible to be able to use it, including members who use a screen reader, navigate by keyboard alone, need larger text or higher contrast, or find some interactions easier with more time.
How accessible this website is
We have built this site with semantic HTML, keyboard-operable navigation and forms, descriptive text alternatives for images, and a layout that adapts to phones, tablets and desktops. We aim to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA, the internationally recognised accessibility standard, though we have not yet had the site independently audited against it.
What does not yet work as well as it should
Some book cover images are loaded directly from publishers' and booksellers' own databases; where they do not provide a description of their own, our text alternative falls back to the book's title, which is less descriptive than a proper image caption. A small number of staff-facing tools, used only by library staff and not by the public, were not built with the same care as the public catalogue.
We are addressing issues like these as we find them or as members report them. If you come across anything that is hard to use, please tell us.
Reporting an accessibility problem
If you find part of this site difficult to use because of a disability, or you need information from us in a different format, please get in touch:
Email: jkolikis@greeklibrary.org
We aim to respond within 5 working days.
About this statement
The Greek Library of London is a small charity, and this website is not a public sector body's service, so it is not covered by the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) Accessibility Regulations 2018. We publish this statement voluntarily, because accessibility matters to us regardless of whether the law requires it. If you feel we have not responded adequately to an accessibility problem you have raised, you may also contact the Equality Advisory and Support Service (EASS), which gives independent advice on the Equality Act 2010.
