Returning library materials

Most materials may be returned to any ASU Library location, regardless of which library they were checked out from. Interior book returns are located near the Information and Check Out Desk at each library.

Graduation does not affect an item's due date but you will not be able to renew materials after graduation.

If you are not able to come to an ASU campus, you may ship back to the library.  We recommend using FedEx Ground service, which provides $100 default insurance.  Please keep the tracking information in case there are questions about the returns.  Please use the following shipping address:  Noble Library, 601 E. Tyler Mall, Tempe, AZ 85287-1006 

For information on returning materials that were shipped to you, visit our home delivery page.

Interlibrary Loan ILL materials must be returned to any ASU Library Information and Check Out Desk, except for the ASU Law Library.
