How do you deposit books at the library?

Readers can deposit books at most libraries by dropping them into the book return slot, which is usually located near the front entrance inside the library. Many libraries also offer a book slot outside for returning books when the library branch is closed.

Some municipalities have library networks, allowing patrons to borrow books from one location and return them to a different location within the same city. While the majority of library items can be deposited into book slots, most libraries request that any items that have been damaged or are fragile, such as old books, be returned directly to the circulation desk instead.
