Purchase Request

You can recommend a purchase if there are materials you’d like to see added to the library’s collections. Depending on the library budget and whether the item is sold out or not, it may be difficult to purchase the requested item. Please refer to the bottom of the page for more information on materials restricted by the library regulations.

– Monthly allowable book requests per individual: 5 books

– For domestic general interest books, check if they are available on the e-book subscription service ‘Crema Club’ and only request essential materials.
