Suggest a Purchase

The Santa Cruz Public Library welcomes suggestions for books and other items to add to our collection. Please provide as much information as possible below. If you do not have a specific title but would like to suggest we purchase additional materials covering a specific subject, please make your suggestion in the comment field. We will consider each suggestion carefully in accordance with our Collection Development Policy.

The library receives many suggestions for purchase. We do our best to fill requests when suggested titles meet our guidelines and are available to us to purchase.

LINK+ is an option for requesting materials not included in the SCPL collection. For more information about LINK+ see the FAQ page for LINK+.

For specialized, technical, or out-of-print materials, you may wish to consider using Interlibrary Loan (ILL), the process by which a library requests material from, or supplies material to, another library. Please call Telephone Information (831-427-7713) or visit your local library branch to submit an InterLibrary Loan request.

Please note: We cannot accept requests earlier than 2 months before a publication date.
