book returns

Due date compliance

Book returns are the bins, slots, or designated areas where library patrons deposit borrowed materials, especially when the library is closed.

The term also refers to the act or process of bringing books back: The book returns have been slow this semester.

In publishing, book returns are unsold copies that retailers send back to distributors for credit.
