System-wide, DBRL has a collection of over 550,000 items, including fiction and non-fiction books and music, DVDs and more for kids and adults. We also have a number of special collections for particular populations like parents, Spanish-speakers, and a large print collection for the visually impaired.
We shelve westerns, romance series, mysteries and science fiction titles in their own sections because of the popularity of these genres and the large number of titles. New genre titles are also shelved separately within new books so that readers can easily browser for the newest titles by their favorite authors.
Each library offers a Most Wanted collection, comprised of several copies each of the hottest and newest popular adult titles available to walk-in patrons, one to a library card. They have a seven-day loan period and are not renewable. This service strives to guarantee availability of bestsellers to readers visiting the library. To guarantee the service is used as it was intended, those not returning their books after a week receive a personal phone call.
If there's something you can't find in our collection, we may be able to loan it to you through the Interlibrary Loan program, which lets us borrow books from other libraries.
