How Can I Return My Items?
Our drive-through return bins are open, in addition to the book & AV return slots attached to the library building. All outdoor item return areas are open 24/7.
You've dropped off your items... now what?
To be sure they are safe for handling, all items returned will be placed in quarantine for at least 72 hours, but it could be up to a week before they are checked in. They will still show on your account as “checked out” during that time, but no fines will be charged.
No Donations Please!
Our donation box is currently closed. Please keep all materials at this time. We will announce when we resume accepting donations. Please do not leave materials on or near the donation box or put donated items in the book return bins.
