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.

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. Homebound Service Is it hard for you or someone you know to get to the library? We can deliver books, movies and music delivered to your home free of charge! Dayton Metro Library provides this service to adults who have difficulty getting out. Tell us what you would like, and we'll bring it to you. Whether you need us for a few weeks or indefinitely, Homebound Delivery will be there. 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 15 cents per page. 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 $0.10 per page. Documents on a disk may also be printed from library computers.
