Best Answer

It depends on the library - ask at the library where you are borrowing the book.

Almost always in multiple branch libraries within the same system - for example Chicago Public Library, you can check out a book at any branch and then return it at the same branch or at any other branch of the same system. If in doubt, check the website or ask at the library - either by telephone or in person.

Generally, the same thing is true within university libraries. You check out the book at the main library of Ohio State University and you can generally return it to the Engineering Library of Ohio State University. There are exceptions - for instance, reserve books almost always have to be returned to the loaning library.

Usually at the other libraries if the library works within a consortium. For instance if you check out a book at a suburban library and the metropolitan library are part of the same consortium, you can return at any branch. Be sure to ask before you return the book - preferably even before you check out the book.

Occasionally if you check out a book at one library and you return it to a library that has no affiliation whatsoever, they will, as a courtesy return it to the other library. Do NOT count on it. You may accrue fines - large fines. They may just put the book in lost and found and never return the book. They certainly have no obligation.

In summary, the answer is "maybe", ASK and be specific. There are almost always exceptions - such as DVDs, etc.

How do you get a library to carry the book you wrote?

Different libraries have different policies when it comes to collection development. As such, a library may or may not want to add your book into their collection. There are two main ways in which you can get a library to carry the book you wrote: 1. You can suggest the book, either in person at the library or through the library's website. This method is only relevant if your book has been formally published. 2. You can donate a copy of the book to the library. It is important to note that a library may not accept a donation - this depends, again, on the policies of the library and whether or not the book fits their collection development policies. If you still aren't sure what the best approach would be, simply visit the library and ask a staff member; they will be able to provide you with the information you need about this.
