Book return post box

The book return post box at Polhill Library will be unavailable from Wednesday 7th April for three weeks. This is so building work can commence on installing an automated book return system. This will enable books to be removed from your Library account immediately. Sorry for any inconvenience or disruption caused. Books can be returned via the help desk during this period (or renewed online via the library catalogue or by telephoning the renewals line on 01582 743262).
