yes, yes, yes. I actually work at a branch that caught fire in the 80s and was out of service for some 5 years or more because somebody thought it clever to put FIRE in the drop box. and while there have been improvements made in the construction of drop boxes (some technology or design that prevents fire from getting air is one "improvement"), the FLP is too strapped to buy and install these new-fangled boxes. in fact, most of the branches that currently have boxes have either had them for years without issue (ie, no vandalism) or their Friends' group purchased and installed the boxes because it's what the community wanted (see: Falls of Schuylkill, Chestnut Hill).
so. i never knew i had THAT much to say about drop boxes....
as for convenient hours.... all i can say is Saturday service returns the first weekend in October and most branches are open until 8pm on mondays and wednesdays. AND, you can renew your stuff online (if you've specified a PIN for your account) or you can call any branch to renew or you can send me little gifts of local food and i'll fix your account good. :-P
