The shop

Pearl Street Literary Co. is on a single, step-free floor. The main entrance from Pearl Street is a 36-inch door with no step. The central aisle is 42 inches wide, wheelchair and stroller accessible throughout. Our restroom is single-user, unisex, and step-free. If any part of your visit would be easier with advance arrangement — a seat held near the front, a book fetched for you, a quiet time of day — please call ahead and we will happily arrange it.

Reading circles

Our reading room has movable seating, a hearing loop, and a small side table for note-taking. If you would like large-print copies of the month's book, please tell us at registration and we will order them.

This website

We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA. That means, among other things:

• Text has a minimum contrast ratio of 4.5:1 against its background.
• Every interactive element is reachable by keyboard.
• All images used to convey meaning have descriptive alternative text.
• The site works at 200% zoom without horizontal scrolling on most screens.
• Motion and animation are subtle and can be reduced by your operating system's "reduce motion" setting.

Reporting a barrier

If you encounter any part of the shop or this website that is not as accessible as it should be, please write to legal@carloslabascalbooks.com. We take these reports seriously and aim to respond within five business days.
