Just like the Great Eye of Sauron, our book return slots never close.
So, next time someone scoffs 'one does not simply walk to the library and return one's books whenever they like', you can tell them they're wrong. You absolutely can return your books in our return slots whenever you like!
Each library location has an external book slot and an internal book returns area. Central Library has three, just like the number of rings for the Elven-Kings under the sky. (Yes, I'm going to continue to labour the Tolkien references, thank you very much for asking.)
There's one returns slot facing the Square, one on George Street, and one to rule them all... er, inside near the main entrance on the Mezzanine Floor.
On top of all that, if you happen to be on a long quest around the Shire, there are conveniently-placed book returns bins in many locations If you have an idea for where we should put another returns bin, please let us know! |
