Fines can be paid in person at Canterbury, Broadstairs and Salomons libraries and learning centres by cash or by cheque made payable to 'Canterbury Christ Church University'.

Courtesy notices
To help you manage your library loans, the Library sends you a reminder notice shortly before a loan is due to be returned. The notices are sent by email to your CCCU account. We cannot guarantee that you will receive these notices, so you should not rely on them to remind you when your loans are due for return.
You are responsible for returning or renewing your loans on time and non-receipt of a courtesy notice is not an acceptable reason to dispute any fines you may incur.
You should log in to your Library account regularly to check your loans.
