Return Your Library Books, Right Where You Are!

Hike no more to the Central Library on a lecture-less day, just to return one thin borrowed book. Since August 2011, SNU Central Library has been facilitating the returning of books outside the Central Library by installing “Book return drop boxes” at Gwanak-sa (dormitory) and the College of Engineering. Students are now able to return books borrowed from the Central Library or its 7 branch libraries through these boxes, much to their convenience. The book return boxes have brought positive responses from library users, and more and more students are utilizing the boxes as the semester goes on.

■ Book return drop boxes can be found at the following locations.

Book return drop boxes
Gwanak-sa College of Engineering
Building No. 900: Entrance to the building on B2
Building No. 920: Entrance to Global House
Building No. 301: 2nd floor entrance to building

Book return drop boxes

■ Only books borrowed from the Central Library and its 7 branch libraries may be returned through the above four drop boxes.

  • Please do not insert books from college/department libraries into the boxes.
  • Please do not return ‘recalled books (books requested to be returned before the due date)’ via these boxes.

■ Dates and Times of Collection and Return Processing

  • Collection: 10:00 and 15:00 on weekdays, 11:00 on Saturdays
  • Return Processing: The books will be processed as having been returned the day before the collection date.
  • Text messages may be sent informing you of overdue books because of the difference in the actual date of return and collection dates; but the return dates of the books will be processed as the day before the collection date.

■ Additional Information

  • Books will not be returned if you leave them on top of the book return boxes. There are also possibilities of loss and theft. Please make sure you insert the books into the boxes.
  • The processing of your returned books may be checked through the SNU Library website (http://library.snu.ac.kr) by logging on and clicking on the “My Library” tab.
