Can books be returned when Library Services is closed?

Answer

Yes, there are return boxes at Mile End and West Smithfield libraries where books can be returned outside of closing hours.

The return box outside of Mile End is actually a letter box on the front of the building. Please do not return the books at the large green container outside Mile End Library, which is for book donations.

At Whitechapel Library, books can only be returned when the library is open.

You can return books to any Queen Mary library, not just the one you borrowed the item from.
