Suggest a Purchase

How do I request/suggest that the library purchase a book, video, or other item?

You may request that an item be added to the collection by using this online form.

Will I be notified of the library’s decision regarding the item I suggested?

Due to the volume of suggestions received, we are not able to notify you directly about a decision; however, we do value community members’ suggestions and purchase many of them.

Can you notify me when/if the item arrives?

Due to the volume of suggestions, we ask that you check the online catalog to determine which items have been added to the collection.

How long does it take for new items to become available?

This varies a great deal, depending on publisher or distributor availability and many other factors. Please check our online catalog regularly for new purchases. Please note that you may place reserves on items that show as "on-order" in our online catalog.

If the book is more than a year old, you may use our Interlibrary loan (ILL) service to order a copy. Please see our interlibrary loan page for more information.
