About Suggestions for Purchase
If you can’t find a book, CD, or DVD in the catalogue, you can suggest that it be added to the ORL’s collection.
Through your online account, you can submit up to two suggestions per month, track their status, and receive updates directly in your account.
You must have a physical ORL library card to submit suggestions.
