Baltimore County Public Library will begin a phased reopening of its branches starting next week as staff prepare for library patrons to drop off thousands of borrowed books and other items.

Staff will return to library buildings on Monday to process 8,000 new books and resources for users, gather 58,000 items that customers have placed on hold and prepare for patrons to drop off more than 400,000 borrowed items.

Starting at noon on Tuesday, library patrons can drop off books outside of library branches 24 hours per day.
