The Palo Alto City Library welcomes input from the Palo Alto community concerning the collection. A suggestion for purchase procedure enables customers to request that a particular item or subject be purchased by the library.

• All suggestions for purchase are evaluated using the same selection criteria as for other materials and are not automatically added to the collection.
• Customers are able to submit 5 purchase suggestions per month.
• Please note that the library is unable to fulfill any suggestions from June 1 through the end of summer, as we wrap up our fiscal year spending. You’re welcome to place the suggestion, but there will be a delay in response during this time.

See our FAQ on how to submit your purchase suggestions.
