Circulation Services

  • How to get a card at the library
    All applicants for a library card must apply in person and show proper identification, such as a current driver's license, a state-issued identification card, a current student identification card, or an armed forces identifcation card. New library cards will be mailed to the address provided by the patron.

  • New Fine Policy

  • Online Accounts
    Using the My Account feature, you are able to view what items you have checked out, what titles you have reserved and what fines you owe the library. To access your account, you need your library card number and a Personal Identification Number(PIN). Library cards and PINs are available at any library location. Card numbers and PINs cannot be issued online.

  • Lost or Stolen Cards
    If your card is lost or stolen, call the Circulation Department immediately at 496-8905.


    Voter Registration
    You can register to vote at any of our library locations. If you need more information about the requirements or deadlines, contact the Montgomery County Board of Elections, at 225-5656.


    Inter-Library Loan
    Interlibrary Loan allows you to obtain items not owned by DML from other libraries around the country. You are allowed 8 requests in process at one time. The service takes 2-3 weeks, and with the exception of microfilm, most items can be sent to the branch of your choice for pick-up. Read the complete Inter-Library Loan Policy.


    Golden Buckeye Cards
    Golden Buckeye Applications are available at all Dayton Metro Library locations. Cards are free and available to Seniors age 60 and over.


    Income Tax Forms
    Income Tax Forms are available in season (normally January through April) at all Dayton Metro Libraries. The library carries Federal and State Tax Forms. City of Dayton tax forms will need to be copied in the library. Copies are 10 cents each. Be sure to call ahead to make sure that the library carries the form that you are looking for.


    Meeting Rooms
    Dayton Metro Library meeting rooms are available free of charge during regularly scheduled hours of operation to nonprofit community groups. (The organization sponsoring the meeting must be nonprofit.) Library-related activities and other events sponsored or co-sponsored by the library will receive priority in scheduling the use of the meeting rooms. Read the complete Meeting Room Policy.


    Displaying Materials in the Library
    Want to get the word out to the community about your event or your organization? The library can help! Community information tables at the library are a good way to reach your audience. All you have to do is bring your fliers or posters to the library and we can do the rest.

    There are only a few restrictions. We cannot post items that are exclusively commercial (such as fliers about selling products or services, companies recruiting employees, etc.) nor can we distribute campaign materials for a political candidate. Because of space limitations, each library reserves the right to limit quantity and length of time that materials can be available. Read the complete Displaying and Distributing Materials Policy .

    In many cases, you can simply drop off your materials at the Main Library, 215 E. Third St. Dayton, and we can send your materials to all our library locations, or just to the library branches you determine. We do have some limits on distribution depending upon size and how often the materials are published (for example we can distribute a monthly newsletter) so please check with the Community Relations Department at 496-8901 for more information or if you have any questions.


    Copy Machines
    All libraries have copy machines available, and copies are 10 cents per page.


    Color Copiers
    Color copies are $1.00 each. The following locations have a color copier: Main, Huber Heights, Kettering-Moraine, Miamisburg, Northmont, Vandalia and Wilmington-Stroop.


    Fax Machines
    The library does not have a fax machine available for public use.


    Computers
    There are computers with Internet access and Office Products (including Word, Publisher, PowerPoint and Excel) available at all Dayton Metro Libraries. Any items printed are $.10 per page. Documents on a disk may also be printed from library computers.
