Suggest a Title

MCPL offers a diverse collection representing a wide range of customer interests. If you find a title that we do not own, but feel that we should, you can suggest that title and our librarians will review it to see if we can add it to our collection.

Physical items

You are able to request items to be borrowed from another library through our InterLibrary Loan service, WorldCat. When you make a WorldCat request, our staff will attempt to borrow the item from another library that owns the title. Requesting an item through WorldCat is often a quicker way to access a title than suggesting it for purchase.

Request a book through WorldCat

If you would like MCPL to add a title to our collection, you can make the request through our website. You can request up to three titles per month. After you submit a recommendation you will receive an email with your recommendation. When our librarians have made a decision regarding your title you will receive an email letting you know the result.

Digital items

If there is a title you would like us to add to our eBook and eAudiobook collection, you can use the notify me feature. 

To recommend a title:

  • Search for the title in the Libby app
    • If there are more than 100 search results you will need to use a more specific search term, such as the title and author.
  • Select deep search in the filter options 
  • Click Notify Me underneath the title
  • Click Smart Tag: Notify Me

If you want to see your list of previous recommendations, go to your shelf in Libby and select Tags.
