Homebound Delivery

Qualified cardholders can have library materials delivered right to their doors if they are unable to come to the library due to illness or disability.

Ageless Adults

Find an array of programs and opportunities for adults of all ages through our Ageless suite of services, including materials delivery for residents in participating communities.

Borrowing & Fees

Most materials check out for three weeks. Magazines and DVDs under 200 minutes check out for one week, and each customer may have up to 200 physical items checked out at any one time. Fees are assessed for lost items or special requests.
See a DCL staff member to pay with your Visa or MasterCard ($1 minimum).
