From traditional Library services, such as Library Card applications and interlibrary loan, to some of the more unique services, such as voter registration and Community Room reservations, Dayton Metro Library strives to offer services that support our mission to inform, inspire, and enrich our community.
Dayton Metro Library is proud to provide not only a broad collection of physical books, music, movies, and magazines for all ages – but also an extensive Digital Collection as well. Your Dayton Metro Library card allows you to borrow from both the physical and digital collections.
Start your journey here – it’s the key to all you’ll need. A library card is a gateway into all of our library resources from our physical books to online streaming media. Visit any branch with proper identification to get your Library card. Learn More

Entrepreneurs and Small Business Owners, Educators and Parents interested in Early Childhood Literacy and Nonprofit Professionals will find specially-designated Centers of Excellence with the resources, information, services, and support needed to take the next big step.
You’ll need a form to register to vote, become a Golden Buckeye, or prepare your state or federal taxes. The Library is your resource for these and more. Come into any Branch to get these forms or print them out at home.
