How long can I keep a Zip Book item?

Zip Books are checked out to you soon after we order them. They have a 6-week checkout and can be renewed if the item doesn't have a hold (you can now place holds on any of them!). Make sure to return them on time to avoid having an overdue book on your account.

Please return the book to a staff member at the desk (with the Amazon packing slip, if possible) to any of our six locations. Please, do not return Zip Books in the Book Returns - There are no library labeling, they look like donations.
