The Ted and Grace Bachhuber Memorial Library is not responsible for personal items left in the library by patrons and members of the community. All unclaimed items found on the premises of the Ted and Grace Bachhuber Memorial Library are handled in accordance with the following guidelines.

• Lost and found items will be dated and stored for a period of thirty (30) days. (See below for identification items and items of significant or possible significant value.)
• If current contact information is attached to the lost item, at least three attempts will be made to contact the owner.
• If the owner of a lost and found item visits the library and can satisfactorily identify the item, the item will be returned to them.
• Any items lost that contain food or liquid and personal items may be disposed of at the end of the business day (e.g., water bottles, pacifiers, sippy cups, plastic food containers). Hazardous materials will be disposed of under the discretion of the director.
• Regarding unclaimed identification documents, credit cards, or items of (possible) significant value (e.g. gift cards, cash, jewelry): These will be taken to the Mayville Police Department as soon as staff are able, and will be kept in a secured location until staff are able to do so.
• We will attempt to return any books labeled as belonging to a library outside of the Monarch Library System to that library. Unmarked books will be disposed of at the discretion of the Library Director.
• All other items, if not claimed in a timely manner, will be disposed of at the discretion of the Library Director.
