Good to Know
Return with care
Some items can go in the book drop, but larger or higher-value items must be returned inside the library. If you’re unsure, check the item’s borrowing instructions.

Replacement charges vary by item. Check the replacement cost listed for an item before you borrow it.
Nintendo Switch consoles
You must be 18 or older and sign a waiver at checkout. Consoles can’t be renewed, so they keep moving between families.
