All library loans due for return/renewal by 10 May


Since the November lockdown, all loans have been extended on a rolling basis. This will end on 10 May, at which point all loans will be due for return or renewal. You can safely return items by dropping them off in our returns boxes at the doors of any library during opening hours.
Please also note that loans from libraries which are not currently able to open are being extended further.
No library customers will be penalised as a result of having to self-isolate, or being unable to travel to return library loans. If there are exceptional circumstances that prevent you from returning or renewing your loans, please contact your nearest open library.
To check your current loans please login to your online library account via our website or the Library App (search Oxfordshire Libraries in the Apple App Store or Google Play).
We cannot wait to welcome you back to our libraries! Thank you for your patience and support over the past year.
Please stay connected with us on Facebook – OxfordshireLibraries and Twitter @oxonlibraries
