Library Policies

Fines and Fees
The library does not charge daily overdue fines for most items. If materials are kept past their due date, you may be billed for the replacement cost of the items. You will need to return the materials or pay the bill to clear the hold placed on your records in the Admissions & Records Office.

The library charges $1/day fines for overdue 3-day reserve books. These fines will cumulate to a maximum of $50 and will not be refunded when the book is returned. An additional replacement fee will be charged if the book not returned.

The library charges fees for repair or replacement of damaged items.


Renewals and Holds
You can renew most Library materials by bringing them to the circulation desk on each floor.
You can renew books by phone Monday-Friday from 8:30am-4:30pm. Please call 661-362-3361 to renew by phone.
You may not be allowed to renew books if they are overdue.
You cannot renew an item if another student or staff member has placed a hold on it.
You can usually place a hold on an item, reserving your right to check it out at the end of its current circulation period.

SCILNET (Community borrowing)
The community is welcome to use the library; however, only College of the Canyons students may check out materials. Temporary borrowing privileges can be arranged with a SCILNET card available through Santa Clarita Public Library or CalArts.  COC students may get a SCILNET card for temporary access to these other libraries.


Public Use of the Library
The community is welcome to use the library at either location.  Certain resources, such as course reserves, and facilities, such as group study rooms, are limited to COC users only.  There are public access computers, and there is guest wireless access.
