How can I return library materials when the Library is closed?
Library Return Box
Use a library drop box to return materials anytime. Returns can be accepted 24/7. However, allow time for returned materials to be cleared from your library account (1-3 days during the semester; 1 week during intercessions).
The boxes are located
- At the East Entrance near the Winn Center
- Near the South Entrance, on the way to the library lockers in the Business and Social Science building
- At the West Entrance near the Art Gallery and Recital Hall
- On the north side of the Library building
Important: Do Not Return Rented Textbooks to Library Drop Boxes
If you paid money to the CRC Bookstore to rent a textbook, these must be returned to the bookstore and not the library drop boxes. Check the CRC Bookstore Website for hours and return instructions.
Return Reminders:
- Drop your items through the slot into the box.
- Allow time for returned materials to be cleared from your library account (up to 1 week).
- Library materials may also be returned inside during library open hours.
If you are returning a Chromebook or laptop:
- You do not need to return the Chromebook or laptop in the original box, as it may not fit in the return box.
- The Chromebook or laptop will not be damaged by dropping it in the return box. There is a safety mechanism in the return box to prevent damage.
- Please return the charging cable with the laptop.
