Please review the checklist below before submitting the form.

• Make sure the item you are requesting is not already owned by Dayton Metro Library. If it is and all copies are checked out, please reserve the item online.
• Make sure you do not owe $10.00 or more in fees.
• Please use your own personal Dayton Metro Library card. You must be at least 18 years of age to request items via interlibrary loan. We cannot use Outreach, Classroom, eCard, Student, Connection, New (accounts created less than 4 weeks ago), or consortium (Bradford Public Library) cards to place requests.
• You may request books (print only, no textbooks), audio/visual items, electronic documents, photocopies of magazine or newspaper articles (no full magazines or journals), and microfilm. Items requested must be 1 year past the release date.
• If you wish to renew your interlibrary loan item, please call 937.496.8613 or email illdayton@daytonmetrolibrary.org one week before the due date.
