Self-service lockers

Locker locations

How to get your items from lockers

  • Locker(s) will open when you scan your MIT ID.
  • Items will be checked out to you when you open the locker door.
  • Close the door after pickup – you can’t open the door more than once.

Pickup deadlines and cancellations

  • Items will stay in locker for 5 business days.
  • No fines will be charged for items left in lockers.
  • Items left in lockers beyond the pickup date will be collected by staff and returned to the library.
  • If you can’t pick up your item, you can cancel your request or ask us to hold it longer by replying to the notification email you received.

How to return your items

  • You can return items to any library location or book drop.
  • There is a standalone book drop across from the Lobby 10 self-service locker.
  • Additional self-service lockers coming soon will include book drops.

If you have questions or problems using the lockers, contact us at circulation@mit.edu.
