Returning library items

During this difficult time of campus closures, road closures, and extremely challenging weather, you may be concerned about returning your library items. 

The book drops are open, so you can return items. Items that were checked out in Abbotsford can be returned to Chilliwack and vice versa. However, if it is not safe to do so, please consider the following options:

• Self renew your items online using "My Library Account" on the library homepage
  
• If you are out of recalls or need assistance, you can contact the library at circabb@ufv.ca to ask about renewing, as long as there isn't a recall on the item. 
• Wait and return items when it is safer to do so. We will be back dating returned items to Friday November 12th.
