Library Home
September 18, 2026
On September 18, 2026, I will be sending out overdue and fine notices to try and clear up missing books and fines from previous school years, or fines already incurred this first month of school. These email notices will include items from previous school sites. Please contact those sites directly it you have questions. I am happy to answer question for any fines incurred at Canyon Hills. How will you know? For fines from a previous site, look for the initials of the school in the fine itself. Example, ECYN= Eagle Canyon, RR=Rolling Ridge, etc. If no school site initals are listed, the site is Canyon Hills.
Important Notes:
- Library book fines have to be paid at the school site where the fine occured.
- Textbook and Chromebook fines can be paid at the current school no matter where the fine orginated.
- Found library books, textbooks Chromebooks, or Chromebook accessories can be turned in at the current school. We are happy to get them where they need to go.
For Canyon Hills fines specifically,
- Library book fines (overdue fines, lost book fines) must be paid in exact cash. No change is available.
- Textbook and Chromebook fines can be paid by exact cash or a check payable to CVUSD.
- Students can return items and pay fines during library hours, 8:45-3:30 or parents and guardians can drop items at the Canyon Hills office between 7:30-4:30.
Please contact me if you have any questions!

Let’s talk about overdue library books. Students check-outs are two weeks. Due dates are stamped on the book pocket inside the book. They must return or renew their book withing 4 days after their due date to avoid fines. Fines are 10 cents per school day, so a book that is 5 days late has a fine of 50 cents. A student will not be able to check out another book until their book is returned and the fine is paid. I allow students to use their PAWS rewards points towards fines. Each PAWS point is worth 10 cents and they can use up to 10.
Overdue library book notices are emailed out each school day to both the student and the parent email on file. I also send out twice weekly reminders to students in class.
Have a question? I am here to help!
See you in the library, Coyotes!
