Q. Can library patrons suggest materials to purchase?

Yes!  Patrons are encouraged to submit purchase suggestions by clicking on "Purchase Suggestions" while in the library catalog, from the library's website by clicking on "Suggest a Purchase," or by going to this page:

http://www.tolibrary.org/services/get-help/suggest-a-purchase

If you are using Overdrive or Libby, you can make a purchase suggestion by tagging a book we do not own with "Notify Me" from Libby.  Click here for instructions on using Libby's Notify Me option. 

When we don't purchase a video title, it is often because the title is only available on streaming platforms. 

So, if you recommend a title that was produced by a streaming source, such as HBO, Apple, or Amazon Prime, or if the production company owns its own streaming platform, such as Disney, we often find the titles are unavailable for purchase on spinning disc media (DVDs or Blu-Ray).  This is the reason we cannot get the "Killers of the Flower Moon" which is currently an Apple TV exclusive.
