Media Collection
DCPL is now offering downloadable versions of books, audiobooks, video and music from several sources. Use of this collection requires a valid DCPL library card and, in most cases, the download and use of free software provided. DCPL offers media downloads from several separate and unique platforms. Most titles will be exclusive to one or the other and each site requires a separate login.
