If you would like to return library books via mail, the address is:
EKU Libraries
103 Libraries Complex
521 Lancaster Avenue
Richmond, KY 40475
If you return materials return via UPS mail, they first go to a central location on campus before they are delivered to the library. It may be several days once they are received on-campus before they are actually delivered to the library. For that reason, if you are within a reasonable driving distance of main campus, you may prefer to return materials yourself using the book drops referenced in this FAQ.
Please call EKU Libraries at 859-622-1790 if you have any questions.
