Purchase Suggestion

The Topeka & Shawnee County Public Library does its best to purchase materials that are suggested by library customers. However, not all materials that are suggested will be added to the collection. Reasons that might result in a decision to not purchase an item could include the lack of availability of an item, the price of an item, or a determination that the item would be of limited general interest, among others. Items not available in our collection might more appropriately be borrowed from another library via our Interlibrary Loan service. Find out more information about Interlibrary Loan. Ebook and digital audibooks have additional purchasing and selection problems. For more detailed reasons why ebooks or digital audiobooks may not be added to the collection read this blog post. ebooks and digital audiobooks cannot be borrowed through Interlibrary Loan.
