Bossier Parish Libraries

Founded in 1941, Bossier Parish Libraries is dedicated to supporting the changing needs of Bossier Parish by being a safe and inviting haven for all, fostering education and literacy, encouraging personal growth, inspiring curiosity, and building connections that strengthen their community.

There are currently 8 branch locations that are part of the Bossier Parish Library System, all of which are committed to working together to provide for the people of Bossier Parish.

Our Brief

Bossier Parish Libraries provides a variety of resources, events, and services to its patrons and community members such as access to free DMV Permit Practice Tests, Gale Courses for Continuing Education, a streaming service with thousands of films, small business resources, and much more.

In an effort to make their online information and services accessible, adaptable, and accommodating for their community, Bossier Parish Libraries searched for a solution that would eliminate any obstacles preventing users from accessing the websites and their resources.

Our Solution

To ensure their website was user-friendly and inclusive in facilitating information and resources, especially for those who may be more vulnerable or require additional support, Bossier Parish Libraries added Recite Me technology on their website.

Recite Me assistive technology provides a range of tools, including screen reading functionality, multiple reading aids, customizable styling options, and an on-demand live translation feature that boasts over 100 languages including 65 text-to-speech voices.

“At Bossier Parish Libraries, we strive to provide accessibility for all; with an average of 1 in 3 adults in Louisiana navigating the world with a disability, Recite Me helps us do so. Recite Me’s technology can surmount a variety of barriers, such as vision or hearing loss, which allows us to fill our role of serving the needs of the community as a whole, ensuring that all are welcome and included.”
