Interlibrary Loan Guide: Returning a Book

Describing the policies and procedures of Curry Library’s Interlibrary Loan (ILL) services, including MOBIUS and Prospector.

Returning Books

Every checked out item from Curry Library will have a set due date. It is always best to return your book before or by its due date. Not doing so may result in the item becoming Overdue (and eventually Billed). Any account that has an Overdue or Billed item will be locked until the item(s) in question are returned or cleared from the account.

You may always view the due dates of any item on your account online via your Library Account, or by visiting the Curry Library Circulation Desk during Desk Hours.

Returning Books In Curry Hall

There are two return locations on the Intermediate Floor of Curry Hall:

  • The return box in the southeast corner of the floor near the swipe access door. Books may be returned 24/7.

    Curry Library Return Box
     
  • The black return cart near the Circulation Desk

You may also return your book to the Circulation Desk directly during Desk Hours.

During non-desk hours, it is recommended that you utilize the return box to return your books in Curry. Because the Intermediate Floor is an open 24/7 space, Curry Library cannot guarantee the safety and security of any book returned/left on the black cart or at the Circulation Desk after Desk Hours.

Note - The return box will be checked at least once every business day, typically at the end of the day. This may result in a slight delay in removing a checked out book from your account.
 

Returning Books In the PLC

You may return any book or item checked out from Curry Library to the Book Return Door Slot in the door of PLC 212. This door is located on south side of the 2nd Floor of the PLC between the staircase and the restrooms/printer area.

PLC Book Return Door

This book return door slot is a secure return location and checked out items may be returned in this door slot 24/7. The returns will be checked at least once every business day, typically at the end of the day. This may result in a slight delay in removing a checked out book from your account.
