Personal property is the responsibility of the individual patron. Lost items found in the Library are held at the Circulation Desk for no more than two weeks. Due to health reasons, we DO NOT keep lunch boxes/food containers and water bottles in the Lost and Found bin.
The library circulation computer system will automatically block a patron's library privilege if he/she fails to pay library fines or return overdue books. A system block will prevent a patron from accessing electronic library databases or checking out items.
