3 months, 39 USBs

Last semester, 39 USBs were found in the Library and never claimed. As well as USBs, a constant stream of lost textbooks, phones, key-rings and clothes finds its way to the Library Desk. We make every effort to reunite these items with their owners: if there are contact details we will contact you to let you know your property has been found. Otherwise, clothes and other items can be picked up at the stand opposite the Library Desk. Anything more valuable or personal such as keys, phones and USBs can be claimed at the Desk.

Sadly, some items find themselves unloved and abandoned. We keep everything we find for three months, but if items are not claimed during that time they will be given to charity, recycled or discarded. For more information about what will happen to unclaimed items see our Lost Property Policy – you can also read a copy at the Lost Property Stand.

So what of our 39 USBs? On this occasion, they’ll be formatted and sent to a refugee school where they’ll help somebody else make a new start. But the moral of the story is, come to the Library Desk as soon as possible if you’ve lost something in the Library – next semester might be too late.
