The Washington Public Library welcomes your suggestions of books or other materials to add to our collection. Each suggestion is considered carefully. The decision to purchase is based on the library’s collection development policy as posted on our website, current budget constraints, and the item’s availability from our vendors. If your request is accepted and if the material is available, this item may be ready for checkout within a few weeks. Some requests may take longer, depending on publication dates and availability.
If you are an author or publisher, we respectfully request that you go through standard marketing channels to request that we purchase your book.
