Q. How do I return my rental books?
That depends. Usually a rental means you got it from the Bookstore, but sometimes people get confused between that and the library because we both loan out books.
- If you had to pay for it (but got to keep your own copy all semester), it probably came from the bookstore...they have a white book drop located outside their store in the Pathfinder (PF) Building on the southeast side of Parking Lot B. Click here for more info on rental return options.
- If it was free (but you could only have it for a short time), it probably came from the library...we have a blue book drop located outside the Library (LIB) Building on the southwest side of Parking Lot B.
Yes, that's pretty darn close together! Here is a map to help out:
If you get confused and put it in the wrong one, it will probably be okay because we usually end up doing a big old book swap at the end of each semester where we give them all the rental books that got returned to us and they give us all the library books that got returned to them. This may delay the time it takes to get checked in to the right place so if your item might be marked as late by the time it gets to it's proper home, with whatever consequences that may entail.
