Library Cards

Library cards are issued free of charge to Dayton residents. Non-residents may obtain a card for an annual fee of $10.00 per person or $12.00 per family (up to 4 members). We have no age limit, but we do require parental signatures for patrons under the age of 18 years. Each patron assumes full responsibility for the materials and fines charged to his or her card. Lost cards and address changes should be promptly reported. The charge for a replacement card is $5.00.
