[Michlib-l] Patrons and lost books that have been found

Wed Aug 14 17:32:06 EDT 2019

If the item is found within 3 months and in good condition we will
refund the money for the item but not the processing fee ($2 or $5.00).
This information is on the Lost/Damaged form we give the patron.

We have a regular time period for withdrawal of Lost and Paid items, so when a patron pays for the item, staff will tell them they have x number of months to return it for a refund. After that, and if it's no longer in the system, we do not issue a refund.
