Important Notice: If you have library materials checked out, keep them at home until the shelter-in-place order is lifted. Use your online library account to renew materials until August 14. If you can’t renew your items, don’t worry—we have suspended all fines and fees for late returns for all items until further notice.
Once the order is lifted, books can be returned to our drop boxes or by mail. Living outside of the Kalamazoo area? You can keep your books until you return to campus—fine-free.
