Where can I return my books?

You can return books and media to:

• Ask Us center at the Hill Library
• Ask Us center at the Hunt Library
• Service desks at the Design, Natural Resources, or Veterinary Medicine Libraries
• Bookdrop boxes

Textbooks and reserve materials

Because textbooks and Course Reserve materials are often in high demand and have shorter loan periods than regular, circulating materials, please return them to the Ask Us or service desks (rather than in a bookdrop box).

Bookdrop boxes

Bookdrop boxes that are located outdoors are available even when the library buildings are closed.

Please do not return technology, textbooks, or reserve materials to bookdrop boxes.

There are three bookdrops at the Hill Library:

• Red bookdrop located just inside the Hillsborough entrance
• Red bookdrop located outside of the east end of the building between the Patterson Hall parking lot and Founders Drive (outdoors)
• Red bookdrop located on the portico just left of the Brickyard entrance doors (outdoors)

At James. B. Hunt, Jr. Library, there are two bookdrop boxes:

• A red bookdrop located at the Ask Us center
• Dark tan bookdrop located in the Partners I Parking Lot directly across from the library on the Partners Way side (outdoors)
