Please note of the following guidelines regarding the USFL Library book drop in the visitor’s parking lot.
- the book drop is for USF books only. The PCC Library has its own book drop at its entrance.
- the book drop is emptied once a day only, Monday through Friday, at approximately 9:30 AM. Items put in the drop box after that time will be checked in the library system the following day (or the next day the library is open in case of week-ends and holidays). Take this in consideration if you are returning items near their due date.
- you can return books from all USF Libraries in the drop box – namely the Lakeland Library, the Tampa Main Library, the St. Petersburg Poynter Library, the Sarasota/Manatee Cook Library, the Shimberg Health Sciences Library and the Louis de la Parte Florida Mental Health Institute Library.
- however, please return the following at the front desk, to avoid additional late fines and/or damage fees:
- videos, DVDs, CDs and all other non-book items
- items on reserve
- items received by inter-library loan (ILL)
- non-standard size items like “big books” and kits
Thank you for your collaboration!
