Can't find a book, CD or DVD? the Ohio Libraries Share: MORE enables you to request materials from other public libraries in Ohio and have them delivered to your library so you can borrow them. Any circulating item in a library collection may be requested. Items owned by Bradford Public Library or its cooperating libraries (Dayton Metro Library, Troy Public Library and the Germantown Public Library), should not be requested through MORE and will not be filled. Please check our catalog to see if our library has the item available. Requests for newer releases (less than 1 year old) and time sensitive needs are typically outside the MORE service.

Note:If you obtain a new library card in our library system, please start a new MORE account using that card. Once we have the new card number, the old one is not available and we can’t identify your requests when they arrive at the library.
