Request a Book We Don't Have

Can't find it in the catalog? Cardholders can suggest titles for the library to buy. If we add it, you'll automatically be placed on hold.

What happens next

We review every suggestion against our Collection Development Policy and our budget.
Decisions can take a few weeks.
If we buy it, you're placed on hold automatically. The hold shows on your account once the order is processed.

Rather ask in person? Contact your local branch.
