The self-checkout machines also enable a card holder to review their account for information relating to items currently checked out, items on hold, and outstanding fees. Check in A drive-up book drop is located off Civic Circle on the west side of the building and is available 24 hours a day. Items may be returned through the drive-up book drop by 11:59 PM of the due date to avoid late fees. Inside book returns are located on the left side of the Accounts desk.
