Brighouse and Steveston book returns are open Monday to Friday from 9:00am to 4:00pm daily and Saturdays from 9:00am to 2:00pm. Ironwood and Cambie book returns are open Monday at 9:00am until Friday at 4:00pm.
There is no internal access to book returns at any branch. Due to the volume of returns, and required quarantining of materials (72 hours), it may take several days for items to be cleared from your account. We want to assure you that no late fines will be charged regardless of due date.
Starting Tuesday September 15, public computer labs are now available at all branches for those who have limited or no access to a computer, the internet, and/or printing.
