• The books should be returned to the same Collection/Lending Desk from which they were borrowed.
• The UWM University Library offers a possibility of returning books 24/7, by means of a dropbox.

The dropbox is located on the left side of the building, at the entrance to the Library (in front of the bus stop). We encourage the readers to use this option after previously reviewing the rules of using the dropbox.
