Book Drop Sites
If you choose to drop books off at Franklin, Greenfield or the Roanoke Higher Education Center be sure you hand the books to a Virginia Western employee so that they can be returned. Do not just leave them on a desk somewhere.

• Virginia Western Brown Library - There is a 24-hour book drop located on the left wall outside the library main doors as well as a mailbox-like return along the curb across from the back of the bookstore.
• Franklin County Workforce Development Center at 70 Wray Street, Rocky Mount (across the road from the Franklin County High School).
• Greenfield Education & Training Center in Botetourt County, you may leave books in that building at the reception desk which is staffed day and night.
• Roanoke Higher Education Center downtown you may turn in books at the library, which is in room 216 on the second floor of that building.
