Suggestion to Buy Form

System Upgrade - 13-18 March

We're upgrading to a new computer system. While we are in this process, new items won’t appear in our catalogue until mid-March.

We’re still ordering new books, but you won’t see them listed or be able to check if a suggested title has been ordered.
After 19 March, new material will be visible again, and you’ll be able to place holds as usual.

Ask us to buy it - Tono mai kia hokona e mātou

Kia ora! This is a request that the library buy an item that we do not hold in our collection, or have on order.

Please note, the current publishing industry is very disrupted. Future publication dates are sometimes deferred or cancelled, and our ability to access some international titles has been disrupted. While these factors are beyond our control, we will do our best to source requested material.

Please fill in one form per item being requested. All fields marked * are required.

If you are wanting to request an interloan, please request it using this form.

Using this form to request items isn't automatic. One of our librarians will acknowledge your request by email within 24 hours (Mon-Fri).

Or, you can return to the library website.

Your request:

1. Would you like to reserve this item if it is purchased?
