BOOK RETURN -

Outside of Bisby Hall, near the front entrance, is a painted postal-service mailbox that serves as our book drop. If you need to return books while the library is closed, you may deposit them in the box. It's a long, free-fall drop to the bottom of the box, so please be kind to our books. Put a rubber band around the book or cassette, or better yet, wrap snugly in a plastic bag.

When the library is open, items should be returned indoors. It's better for the books and cassettes. Also, we empty the book drop only once a day, just before the library opens, so your books left in the box won't be checked in until the next day.

Returning your books late? See our policy on overdue books.
