Help, I left a personal belonging in the Georgetown University Law Center Library. Is there a lost and found in the Law Library?
Answer
The Law Center Williams Building Security Desk is the temporary repository for any item that is not Law Library property (including a personal copy of a book, casebook, study aid, etc.) found in the building. Personal items turned into the Security Desk are then sent to the Georgetown University Police Department, 202-662-9325. The Law Library's Circulation Desk does not hold any lost and found items for any amount of time.
Georgetown University Police Department administers an extensive Lost and Found Program. Individuals may claim lost items by inquiring at the 2d floor New Jersey Avenue security guard desk located in McDonough Hall (Mon. - Fri. 7 am - 10 pm), or by completing the Lost Property Form under the Capitol Campus safety webpage. Items that remain unclaimed after 90 days are discarded or donated to local charities.
For any questions about lost and found policies, please ask Georgetown University Police Department at 202-662-9325 or police@georgetown.edu.
