Ottawa Library and NEKLS affiliated libraries welcome your suggestions for titles to add to our collection. We carefully consider all suggestions within the scope of the Library's Collection Development Policy. While we may not decide to add your suggested title to the collection, we appreciate your input and value your contribution.

Please suggest published titles only. Our acquisitions staff monitors and selects copies of popular materials, especially bestsellers and those seen in the media. If you are not sure if the library already has a title after checking our catalog please contact us.

Please consider using our interlibrary loan service for older titles or publications outside of the United States. Some titles may be available through digital resources such as Hoopla, Flipster, or Kanopy.

Patrons are limited to 60 suggestions in a rolling 12-month period with a max of 5 active at any time. You can manage your suggestions from the account screen in our catalog.
