Through this service, items are delivered one day prior to scheduled show date and can be returned in the same manner. In order to take advantage of this service please place bookings at least 48 hours in advance of the item's scheduled show date. Also, be aware of the designated Media Library delivery area in the department office where the courier will drop off items and pick them up for return. Personal items that are placed on reserve for a specific course in the Media Library cannot be picked up or returned by the courier since, for accountability, a signature is needed in these instances.
