Lost and Found: Did You Loose Something?
Over the years, many items have been left behind at our store—playmats, bookbags, library books, water bottles, coats, and various electronics. We've kept them safe in hopes of reuniting them with their owners, but our lost & found is now full. This is out last call before unclaimed items are donated or disposed of. Even if you're not sure you left something here or asked once before, it's worth checking in—you might get lucky. How to Claim: Describe the item. All electronics require proof of ownership (i.e. logging in, knowing the username, identify unique characteristics, able to connect to your other devices.) Lost items will be in-store until Friday, August 15th. After that, items will be donated or disposed of. Stop by soon to see if anything belongs to you. Give us a call or send us a message on Facebook, Discord, or Email if you can not make it in store.
