COVID-19 update: For health and safety we can only accept returns through the book drops. Due to a high volume of returns, there may be delay clearing items from your account. There are no late fines.
After-hours book returns are available at all branches, and are open when the library is closed. Items returned after the library is closed are checked in the next day. Items that can't fit through the book return or that can be easily damaged can be returned at the service desk.

Returning material to other libraries
You can BPL items, with the exception of interlibrary loans and speed reads, to any library in the InterLINK area. Items are checked in when they arrive back at BPL.
If materials are returned to any of these libraries by their due date, they will not be considered overdue when they are returned to BPL. It can take up to two weeks for items to arrive back at their home library. You may still receive an overdue notification, but once we get the items back from the library you returned them to, they will be checked in and cleared from your account. Items borrowed with a BC OneCard may be returned to any public library in British Columbia.
