If the item you're looking for is not in the catalog, we may still be able to get it for you by purchasing it for our collection.
We may be able to purchase items for our collection upon request if you are a MLD library card holder. Review the information below before submitting your purchase recommendation for consideration.
Best for:
- Current and recently published items
- Materials that meet the criteria of our Collection Development Policy
Please do not submit purchase requests for:
- Upcoming titles by popular authors (Grisham, Patterson, etc.). Requesting these items does not place you on the holds list; they are automatically purchased and requests will not be processed.
