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. If the item does not appear in the catalog in 4 weeks you may wish to consider an Interlibrary Loan (ILL) request. ILL is the best option for obtaining older, academic/specialized titles. Due to high volume, we are unable to respond individually to each suggestion.

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.
