With the end of the semester, some of you may have library material still on your account. When the library closed in March, we set all material out at the time to be due at the end of the Spring semester. As the semester ends, the library is still closed to the public; however, there are several options available to return material.

  • The book drop on the west side of the library near the loading dock doors.
  • Mail material to campus at the address below.Library books can be mailed at library rate through the USPS.
  • Email au-libcirc@ashland.edu, and we will work with you to return material at your convenience.

Items from either the AU Library or the AU Seminary library can be returned at either location; for questions regarding Seminary library material, please email Daniel O'Brien at dobrien1@ashland.edu. Once your material has been returned, it may take several days to see it removed from your library account. Fines have been waived for all overdue materials until further notice.
