The main library in Sint-Gillis-Waas has introduced a new drop-off box, enabling users to safely return borrowed materials at any time of day.

Library patrons in Sint-Gillis-Waas now benefit from increased convenience with the launch of a new drop-off box at the main library. This facility allows for the return of borrowed materials, including books, comics, magazines, DVDs, and CDs, at any time, day or night, accommodating those who cannot visit during regular opening hours.
The new drop-off box operates 7 days a week, ensuring all returned items are handled securely. The box is emptied once daily from Monday to Saturday. The official return date for materials deposited via the box will be the last opening day prior to the emptying.
For example, items returned on a Sunday night will be collected on Monday and registered with Saturday as the return date. Similarly, an item returned on a Tuesday will be recorded with Monday's date. This system ensures that materials can be returned promptly and without incurring fines, even outside of opening hours.
