Circulation Desk: Lost and Found

General Information for circulation students and staff

What is stored in the Lost and Found?

Lost items are brought to the Library Lost and Found, which is located at the front of the Library Circulation Desk where you also check out materials. 

Items that are left in the Library are logged into the Lost and Found Notebook, which is kept at the Library Circulation Desk.   Expensive personal Items such as IDs, jewelry, credit cards, keys and items of clothing must be taken over to the Campus Security Office at the end of the day. This office is located on the first floor of Spellman Hall.

When USB drives are found in the Library, an email will be sent directly to the owner of the USB, presuming that this information can be determined. All lost USB drives are placed into small, sealed envelopes for privacy and safe-keeping. At this time, the patron's name is written on the envelope, along with the date the USB was found. These envelopes are then filed by the patron's last name. 

When you claim your lost items at the Library Circulation Desk,  please make sure to sign in our Lost and Found book. This procedure does not apply to lost USB drives.
