Returning Library Items: Book Return

This guide lists the different alternatives to returning materials to the Mayo libraries.

Book Return Locations

As a convenience to Mayo staff, a number of library return boxes are available and can be used to return most borrowed library materials. Exceptions include CD, DVD and VHS items as well as all oversized materials. Patrons who check out CD/DVD/VHS items should follow return instructions given at the time of check out or call 6-7425 for clarification. Additionally, any items left outside the book drop will not be returned. Items too large to fit in the book drop must be returned directly to the Library or through intraclinic mail.

Note: Items reported missing from a book return box by a borrower remain the responsibility of the borrower.
