Help us develop our collection! If you can't find an item in the catalog, you can ask the library to purchase the item. Librarians review all suggestions for inclusion in the countywide collection.
About Suggesting a Purchase
In addition to suggesting we purchase an item, you may also:
- Check our catalog to see if another Ventura County Library branch has the item, or if a digital version is available.
- Place a request through Interlibrary Loan or the grant-funded Zipbooks program.
We recommend suggested titles have a copyright date of two years or less from the date of suggestion.
Publication dates within six months in the future are accepted.
Our librarians consult recognized reviewing resources—such as Library Journal, Booklist, or Kirkus Reviews—as part of the selection process. Topics should be of current and enduring value to the Ventura County Library collection, and titles by local Ventura County authors are encouraged.
Due to the large number of requests we receive, you may not receive a response regarding your submission.
