How do I suggest the library buy a book?

Check to see whether we hold the item by searching our catalogue. If we have the item but it's out, you can place a hold.

If we do not have the item, you can request we buy it by filling in our suggestion form or phoning the library on (03) 941 7923.

Note: There is a limit of 20 holds on your card, so if you make recommendations and have 20 holds, we won't be able to place a hold.

Occasionally due to our system update timing, your suggested title may appear on our catalogue before the hold shows on your account.
