How do I Return Material?
Simply remove the white card from the plastic window on the green pouch and turn it over so it shows “Brentwood Public Library, 34 Second Avenue, Brentwood, NY 11717.” Insert the card back into the window, place your returning items inside the green pouch, and put the pouch in your mailbox to be mailed back to us.
