Suggestions for Purchase

We welcome your suggestions for titles that you would like to find at the library. Please provide us with as much information as possible below. Our librarians will carefully consider each suggestion in accordance with the Santa Clara County Library Selection Policy http://www.santaclaracountylib.org/about/matselection.html.

Suggestions are reviewed daily, Monday-Friday, and items selected for purchase usually appear in the catalog within 2-4 weeks. Due to high volume, we are unable to respond individually to each suggestion.

Some titles that are not purchased, especially titles with an older publication date or specialized titles, may be available through Interlibrary Loan (ILL). There is a $4.00 non-refundable search/processing fee for each title requested. If you want to consider this option please provide us with your email address and we will contact you after your suggestion has been reviewed.

Please note: Newer items (i.e., published within the last twelve months) and most audio-visual materials are not available through ILL. For more information about ILL please click here.

This service is intended for the use of library customers and is not for solicitations or other commercial purposes.

If this item is added to the collection, would you like to be placed on the reserve list for it?
In some cases we may purchase the item but may be unable to place the hold (e.g. the format does not accept holds, the patron already has 10 items on hold). In these instances you may try to place the hold once the item appears in the library catalog. Note: Downloadable audio books and e-books will not be placed on hold.
