1. Return the book manually:

Manual book return is the most common way to return books at present. Readers will personally return the borrowed books to the library's borrowing desk or return box, and the staff will register the books, modify the borrowing records, and then put them back on the shelves for others to borrow.

2. Self-help book return:

With the development of science and technology, self-service lending and returning equipment has gradually become popular. On the self-service book returning machine, readers can return books by themselves, which is simple, fast and convenient to operate. The book returning machine scans and identifies books, automatically handles the book returning process, and provides accurate time stamp records to save waiting time in line.

3. Return the book by mail:

Some libraries can provide readers with the service of returning books by mail. Readers only need to contact the library after borrowing and provide a valid express mailing address. This method is suitable for remote borrowing or temporary going out and can't return the book in person.

Matters related to the borrowing and return of library books:

1. Return time:

Be sure to return the book according to the agreed time to avoid overdue fines. If you need to renew the book, you need to contact the library or bookstore to renew it before the book return time. Readers can't borrow books if they have expired books.

2. Return the book at:

When returning books, be sure to put them back or put them in the designated return box. Don't leave books lying around at will, so as not to bring trouble to other readers.

3. Book status:

When you return the book, you should carefully check the state of the book to ensure that it is not lost, defaced or damaged. If you find something wrong with the book, you should inform the library or bookstore in time. After the number of days of suspension, you can resume borrowing books by yourself.

4. Fines:

If the book is overdue, the library or bookstore will charge a corresponding fine, which should be paid in time.

Readers must pay off overdue books, and stop borrowing according to the total number of overdue books from the date when readers pay off overdue books.
