Book Return Hours
Book drops are open 24-hours-a-day, seven-days-a-week at all locations except the Duncan/Traner, Verdi, and Senior Center libraries.
Please use the book drops to return library materials only. We are unable to accept donated items or read and share items in book returns. If an item is rejected by the automated material handler please hang on to it until you pick up your holds or we reopen.
All libraries with evening hours will close at 5:00 p.m. on November 25, December 24, and December 31, 2020. (Approved by the Library Board of Trustees on 10/16/2019.)
Why are some libraries closed the day before or after a holiday?
Pursuant to Washoe County Code section 5.231 plus certain contractual commitments, libraries are closed either the day following or the day preceding a County-observed holiday when that holiday falls on a day when these libraries are regularly not open. The library has neither sufficient staffing nor the budget dollars to pay overtime that would be required to keep these libraries open on these days. Washoe County Library staff thank you for your understanding and patience, and we apologize for any inconvenience to you and your family.
