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.

Similarly to Leighton Twp, the patron may return the item for a refund as long as it is still in the system. 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.

We will refund the money paid for the item if it is in good condition and it has not been withdrawn from the system.

Hi Amy

 

Here at BSCL, the patron gets to keep the item they have paid for if they have found it.

I'm interested to know how other libraries handle patrons finding lost books that they have already paid for.  What is your policy?
