If you can’t find an item you’re looking for in the library catalogue, you can request it. We will try and fill your request by either purchasing the title or borrowing it from another library through Interlibrary Loan if possible.
We tend to purchase titles published in the past two years that will be of widespread interest to the community or that help diversify our collection. Older, out of print titles and items that don’t meet our selection criteria are requested from other libraries through Interlibrary Loan.
Please do not request future releases by popular authors (e.g. John Grisham, Louise Penny, Nora Roberts) as OPL will already be purchasing these titles for the collection. If we already have books by these popular authors, you can assume that we will order the next ones.
Also, you do not need to submit a suggestion for upcoming blockbuster films to add to our collection as OPL will already be purchasing copies. Please keep in mind that a film's theatrical release date is different from the DVD release date. (Most original content from streaming services such as Netflix and Amazon Prime are not available on DVD.)
Before you suggest a title, please search the catalogue to see if it’s already available.
