Carside & Locker Pickup

DTDL has two convenient options for picking up library items outside the library.

Update 9/7/23: DTDL's hold lockers are currently unavailable due to damage caused by the recent power outage. We hope to have them back up and running as soon as possible. Carside pickup continues to be available.
