How to Request a Book to be Acquired

 

REQUESTING A BOOK THAT IS NOT IN THE LIBRARY

 

• THE LIBRARY CAN ONLY BUY FICTION BOOKS THAT HAVE BEEN PUBLISHED WITHIN THE LAST 4 MONTHS AND NONFICTION UP TO A YEAR. SADLY WE DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH STORAGE SPACE.

 

• THE LIBRARY ONLY BUYS HARDBACK BOOKS.

 

• IF YOU WANT THE LIBRARY TO PURCHASE A BOOK, SIGN UP FOR IT IN THE RED BINDER ON THE COUNTER, OR YOU MAY REQUEST A BOOK ON THE FORM BELOW AND CLICK SEND.

 

• YOU WILL NEED TO SUPPLY THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION: A) NAME AND AUTHOR OF THE BOOK; B) YOUR NAME, PHONE NUMBER AND EMAIL (if you have an account).

 

• THE LIBRARIAN WHO BUYS BOOKS REVIEWS ALL REQUESTS AND PURCHASES THOSE THAT WOULD HAVE APPEAL TO OUR READERSHIP. ONCE A BOOK IS REQUESTED, IT TAKES 2 TO 4 MONTHS TO PROCESS THE REQUEST.
