Q. How do I return books to the library?

Returning inside the library

One book drop is located at the East entrance on the first floor. A second book drop is located by the West entrance on the second floor. These items are checked in several times a day. For TCU students and faculty: if you need to return an item because you cannot renew online, please ask a staff person to check in the item and immediately check it back out to you.

Returning to outside library book drops

For your convenience, the library maintains one book drop outside the library at the back (north side) of the building on West Lowden Street. Use the second driveway for access to this drop.

Items can be returned to the outside book drop anytime the library is closed and they will be checked in the first day we reopen with no additional fines charged.

Returning by mail

Books may be mailed to the library if you are unable to return items in person. Please use the following address:
