Suggest a Purchase

The Vancouver Public Library welcomes your suggestions. While we may not be able to acquire everything that is suggested, your suggestion will receive serious consideration. Please use this form to submit a purchase suggestion.

How to make a suggestion:

  • Check the library catalogue before submitting a request.
  • The library automatically orders widely from current publishing, so please do not submit requests for popular materials and best selling authors.
  • Please enter as much information as you have about the item. Fields marked with an asterisk* must be filled in before the form can be submitted.


For more information see our suggested purchase guidelines.

Due to the high volume of suggestions received, the library is not able to place holds for you on any requested items that we order. Please check the catalogue to place your own hold when your suggestion is listed.
Most titles that we purchase will appear within 6 weeks.

Thank you for your suggestion. We value and appreciate your input.
