Description

After pressing Start Reading or Finish Reading on a book's page, a dialog pops up with the current date. This date picker is invisible to screen readers, nor can be focused/edited via the keyboard.

This might be due to an ARIA-hidden flag in the template.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Search the template files for the date picker markup and look for an `aria hidden` attribute. Remove or correct it to make the date picker accessible to screen readers and keyboard navigation.
