Bookdrop: We encourage you to use the book drop available in our lobby when the library is closed. The Book drop is open 24 hours a day at the library. We also have a book drop located at the Mendon Meadows Mall for your convenience. This is a convenient way to return books and materials. If the materials have an overdue fine, you can pay the next time you are in the library. Please note the book drop is checked only in the morning before the library opens. Items deposited in the book-drop will most likely be checked in the following day, which may result in an overdue fine. To reduce the risks of an overdue fine please return materials inside the library when the library is open. Rotating Collections/Shut-In services: The Library partners with the Pinehurst Senior Living Center and Totiakton Housing in providing rotating large print collections for the residents to enjoy.
