Using your Dayton Public Library card, you can log onto the digital library web site, install free software, check out and download popular and classic written books and audio books on a variety of devices. New book titles are added to the collection each month. You can check out up to two titles at a time, and at the end of the 7- or 14-day lending period, the audio books will expire and automatically return to the digital collection.
