Where to Return

You may return library items to either the indoor book drop in the main floor Printing area (just past the Information Desk) or the outdoor book drop, located just outside the north entrance of the library.

Handling Library Materials

Before returning library items, please observe the following safe-handling practices:

  • Do not clean, disinfect, or microwave library materials before returning them. For example, do not use water, Lysol, or any other cleaner on materials.
  • If you or your family members are sick or have been sick, seal materials in a zip-lock style bag if possible before returning.
  • Wash your hands or use hand sanitizer before handling library materials for return and again after you have completed the return.
