Requesting that we purchase an item
Fiction
We will usually purchase a requested general interest adult or children’s fiction title that is not already in stock, provided the item is in print and available from our contracted library supplier and the recommended retail price (RRP) is not more than £30.
Non-fiction
We will generally purchase a requested general interest adult or children’s non-fiction title that is not already in stock, provided the item is in print and available from our contracted library supplier, the request is received within 18 months of publication date and the RRP is not more than £35.
We will generally purchase an additional copy of any title that meets these criteria if there are more than four outstanding reservations per copy.
CDs and DVDs
Due to declining demand, we do not purchase CDs or DVDs to satisfy customer requests.
