Easter Closure—Sunday, April 20

All DMPL locations will be closed on Sunday, April 20 for the Easter holiday. Regular hours and services will resume on Monday, April 21.

North Side Construction - Detour Route

Ongoing construction on Euclid Avenue may limit the ability to access the North Side Library parking lot from the north. If you're visiting the North Side Library, you may reach the parking lot from the south by traveling on Ovid Ave. and then turning north onto 5th Ave. Please see the North Side Library page for a diagram.

Sublimation Printer

Use the sublimation printer to print reversed designs of up to 8.5”x11” on sublimation paper, then use our heat press to transfer those designs to keychains, t-shirts, phone cases, and more!

What You Need

Sublimation printing works best with fabrics that are at least 40% polyester or other manmade materials. Specially prepared “sublimation blanks” for items such as keychains, phone cases, mousepads, and more can also be purchased at many online retailers. 

Sublimation paper can be purchased from the Info desk for $.25 per page.
