Returns and Renewals
The regular book drop is open and you can return library materials 24/7/365! Please return them in the drop instead of bringing them inside the library. The book drop is in our back parking lot.
Please remember that all returns are being quarantined prior to check-in, for safety purposes. We are back-dating and checking items in according to the date they actually came back.
NOTE: To see what you still have checked out, and for items checked out via patio service, please check your account online for due dates and to renew materials.
