Where to Return the Items You’ve Borrowed


Library materials may be returned to any Kalamazoo Public Library location.

Return slots are conveniently located near the service desk at all locations, and outside the library at the Central Library, Eastwood, Oshtemo, Alma Powell and Washington Square Branches. Exterior boxes are available 24/7.

Returned materials will be discharged the same business day they are received, although it may take up to 72 hours before returned items are reflected on your library account. (Items returned through Central Library’s SmartDrops* are discharged immediately.)
