Can library items be returned to any branch?

Do books have to be returned to the same branch where I checked them out?
 
What if the branch I want to return a book to is closed?

Answer

Items checked out from New Orleans Public Library can be returned to any of our Library locations. They do not have to be returned to the branch where they were checked out. Items may be returned in outdoor bookdrops after hours. View library locations and hours on our Today's Hours page.
