Suggestion to Purchase

Make a Suggestion to Purchase

Please use this form to suggest a title you'd like us to add to our collection.

Due to the volume of requests,  the library will no longer place a hold for the suggestion you have made, nor inform you if we are or are not buying it. However, we continue to listen to your suggestions to help shape our collections. Please watch the catalogue for your suggestion, and to place a hold.

Please suggest:

  • Material that we missed buying
  • Books from new or little known authors or publishers  

Please do not suggest:

  • Very popular and best selling authors, top 40 compact discs, or well reviewed DVD feature films - we will be buying these anyway.
  • Anything over two years old. ( See if it is available from one of our Sm@rtLibrary partners.)
  • Items that are not yet published or released.

Please, also:

  • Only submit a suggestion once.
  • Limit your suggestions to 5/month.
