Returning items
In order to adhere to Government guidance, only visit the library to return items if you are already making an essential visit to the library.
You can return items to any Gloucestershire Library. Most libraries (apart from Gloucester, Up Hatherley, Hesters Way, Bourton and Winchcombe) have drop boxes to return items when the library is closed.
