      Justice Department Settles with Public Library Authority over Inaccessible E-Readers

      The U.S. Department of Justice and the National Federation of the Blind have settled a disability discrimination case with the Sacramento Public Library Authority for violations under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The library used inaccessible electronic reader devices in a patron lending program. The library has agreed to acquire e-readers that are accessible to people with disabilities and it will train its staff on ADA requirements.
