Where to return library items
Most library items can be returned at any of our library sites, regardless of which one of our libraries you borrowed the item(s) from. Please check the current open hours for the site you wish to visit. Library items cannot be returned when the buildings are closed.
Please note: laptops borrowed from the laptop lockers at Singleton Park and Bay Libraries must be returned to the same library that you borrowed the laptop from.
How to return library items
Self-return kiosks are available at Singleton Park Library, Bay Library, the South Wales Miners' Library and St David's Park Library. Self-return is the quickest and easiest way to return your items, and you can also choose to receive a returns receipt by email from the self-return kiosk.
Most library loans can be returned via the self-return kiosks, but some items must be returned at the library desk, including:
Items can only be returned at the library desk during staffed desk open hours.
Postal returns
If you are unable to return an item in person at the library, we can also accept some returns by post. The cost of postage is the borrower's responsibility. Please contact the MyUni Library team first, if you need to return an item by post.
Late returns
If you return items after their due date you may be fined. Overdue charges are applicable to all categories of borrower, including academic staff. Please see the Library fees and fines section below for more information about overdue charges.
If you are unable to return an item by the due date, please contact the MyUni Library team as soon as possible as this may affect other library users who need the item.
If you have extenuating circumstances preventing you from being able to return an item on time, please let us know before the item becomes overdue.
