Lost and Found
The circulation desk is the only area located within the library that is authorized to handle lost and found items.
All items and materials that are found within the building must be turned over to the circulation desk supervisor on duty as soon as possible.
The circulation desk supervisor or staff will handle the materials in the following manner:
- Items of high value or importance such as keys, expensive watches and jewelry, wallets, purses, eye glasses, etc. will remain at the circulation desk for approximately one hour to allow the owner to claim. If the item is not claimed after one hour, the University Police will be called for a property pick up.
- Materials of lesser value such as books, mugs, disks, clothing, umbrellas, etc. will remain in the circulation desk area for approximately two or three weeks. At the end of the period they will be recorded on the lost and found log, and packed away for three months.
Unclaimed lost and found items will not be given to the finder.
Any money that is found should be turned into either the circulation supervisor or to the facilities manager. They will contact University Police to pick it up.
