Suggest an item

If we don't have an item you would like, you can suggest an item for purchase. If the item is recent and likely to be popular, the library will try to purchase it.

If the item is older, specialised or doesn't fit our collection guidelines, we can try to borrow it from another library through an inter-library loan. A fee of $28.50 may apply to some loans.
