Well, maybe you've convinced me sites should try to avoid java/script (I
didn't mention it, but this one uses javascript as well as java, I
believe). But I still don't understand why I'm having problems with this
site, given that my browser is java-enabled.
What's your basis for saying such issues render the site inaccessible to
1/4 the potential users?

Write your councilmember as well.
In general, sites should avoid client-side scripting. It's necessary in
only the very fewest of instances. It grossly erodes site
accessibility.
Ask if the library would be willing to design its doors in such a way
that a quarter of the people of the city would be unable to pass
through.
Peace.
