Suggest a Purchase

St. Catharines Public Library welcomes recommendations from our customers for titles we do not already have in our collection.

For each suggestion, please provide your name, library card number, format, and the title you are requesting. Further details such as author/artists, publisher and ISBN may help us find the item more easily, but are not required.

Before submitting an item title, please check the Library’s Catalogue to ensure that SCPL does not already own it. Please request titles published more than two years ago through our Interlibrary Loan Service. 

Please do not request items that have not been published or released yet, as they may already be on our order list.

Suggestions are evaluated according to SCPL’s Collection Management Policy and will be considered only for items that are available for purchase.

You may make up to 5 suggestions for purchase per month.
