Can I return a medium by regular mail?

Under special conditions, it is possible to return borrowed media by mail:

  • Please notify the library location where you borrowed the media of the return via mail (for telephone numbers and addresses, see Locations).
  • Send the media to the branch library or departmental library where you borrowed them.
  • Pack the media so that they will not be damaged, as you are liable for any damage or loss.
  • Enclose an informal letter with your name, library card number (or UB ID), and clearly visible keyword “Book Return.”
  • Add the department “Lending” to the addressee’s name.
  • We recommend returning the book by parcel so that the shipment is insured and can be tracked.
  • Please allow sufficient time for postal dispatch to avoid exceeding the loan period. Postal dispatch does not suspend the issuance of cost-related reminders. The return date is when the parcel arrives at the respective loan desk.
  • Please check your library account in the catalog to see if the return was successful.
