Description

A few SVG elements included by default on all webbooks lack titles. These have been brought to our attention from Pressbooks users.

the Pressbooks logo in the bottom left corner of the footer
the previous and next arrows that help you navigate from chapter to chapter

Steps to Reproduce

Visit a webbook
Choose a chapter
Scroll to the bottom of the page
User a screen reader to navigate to the navigation cues and the Pressbooks logo (which links to Pressbooks.com)

Expected behavior: All visual elements are announced

Actual behavior: These specific SVGs do not yet have a title which would make them accessible to screenreaders.
