You can return most items in the bins located

• at either end of the circulation desk,
• in the lobby, and
• in the parking lot.

Anything you place in the parking lot return bins before the library opens will be checked in as if it were returned the previous day.

Students at Urbana Middle School and Urbana High School can return items to bins located at each school. During the school year, we collect items once a week.

Kits, eReaders, tablets, equipment, and board games must be returned in person to the service desk from which they were checked out.

Late Fees

• eReaders, mobile hotspots, and equipment - $1.00 per day per item
• DVDs, video games, board games, and kits - 50¢ per day per item
• Electronic devices for in-library use - 50¢ per hour per item
• All other adult and teen materials and interlibrary loans - 20¢ per day per item
