After photographing this installment of Library Lost & Found, we returned the 23 wayward items to the circulation desk, where Danielle Cohen ’19 of New York City was checking out some reading.
She did a double take. “Hey! My headphones!” Reunited, and it feels so good.
After voting at the nearby armory last week, she’d stuck an “I Voted Today!” sticky on her her wireless Skullcandy headphones. She later misplaced them but she wasn’t sure whereabouts.
Turns out, it was on the first floor of the library, where staffer Laura Collard collected them for safekeeping one night. What a relief, Cohen said. “It’s a great day!”
Here are the 23 (now 22!) items:
