The Fruits of Cooperation
The Dayton Metro Library has a lot of books. Close to two million, in fact. We don't have everything, however, as much as we'd like to. If there's something you can't find in our catalog, try the Ohio Libraries Share MORE system. This system allows you to make and manage your own requests from Ohio public libraries outside Montgomery county online. If you still can't find what you're looking for, come in and talk to one of our expert librarians or give us a call at 937-496-8910. You can also call your local branch. We participate with libraries across the country in what's called interlibrary loan. If we don't have it, we certainly have a great shot at getting it for you from somewhere else.

I would be interested in learning more about ILL services. Can I submit a request for ILL through the DML web site?
Also, does DML have any connection with OhioLink? I am often looking for the types of books that a university library might have (though I am not a university student and do not have that access), and DML and MORE often do not have them.
OhioLink is primarily a university library system. We can, however, place requests from libraries that aren't in MORE through ILL. Call the Telephone Reference Center at 496-8910 and we can help you out.
