Returning items/book drops

- Returns go in to a 72-hour quarantine before staff bring upstairs to check in.
- You may see item still on your card for several days after you return the item. No fines will incur if you returned by the due date, as we are backdating check-ins.
Donations of books/other items
Please do not donate materials during this closure. We welcome your donations when we reopen and no longer must quarantine items. Thank you for your patience.
