Suggest a book that we don’t have and we’ll consider adding it to our shelves.
Suggest a Title
If you don’t see an item in our catalog, you can suggest it and we'll consider it for our collection. You can suggest as many as three titles at a time, up to 30 per year. All suggestions will be considered in accordance with our
Collection Development Policy.
To recommend physical items such as books, movies, or video games, click on the link below and sign in with your library card. To recommend ebooks, audiobooks, or other econtent, use the “notify me” function in the Libby app.
ZipBooks
Request to have a book shipped directly to your house. You'll hear back from us within two weeks (depending on shipping options and availability). If your title is approved, it will be delivered straight to your door. When you’re done reading it, return it to staff at the service desk at any of our locations.
Can I suggest anything?
You can suggest anything, but we ask that you reserve this for titles that aren’t expected to be on our shelves. For example, don’t recommend books that are landing on bestseller lists and trending in our communities. We already have those ordered.
What if the book I want to suggest isn’t published yet?
Give it some time. We can only order books that will be published within the next two months.
Can anyone use Zip Books?
The Zip Books program can be used by anyone in the Sacramento Public Library service area with a card in good standing.
