Items that are returned in the book drop and the green bin will be backdated to the last date that we were open. Items that are returned to the desk will not be backdated. HOWEVER, some libraries within the Westchester Library System have chosen to continue quarantine. Please keep this in mind if returning items to other libraries. They may remain on your record longer than expected.
