Also featured in our collection are DVD's, audio books, periodicals, 31 adult computers and 6 children computers with access to the Internet and the Alabama Virtual Library (AVL), and free Wi-Fi throughout the Library. We also carry the following newspapers: The Dothan Eagle, Daleville Sun-Courier, The Enterprise Ledger, Southern Star and The Sun.

The staff of the Daleville Public Library will order books and other items that we do not have in our library through an Interlibrary Loan. There is a $5.00 charge per book or item for this service.

The staff will also proctor tests for a $15.00 fee per test. This fee will cover copies, postage, faxing, staff time, etc.
