The Recommend a Purchase page, recently added to the Library website, provides patrons with an overview of the purchase request process before directing them to the Recommend a Purchase form. In addition, the page highlights the Library’s new Broaden our Bookshelf initiative, which seeks to add diverse stories and experiences to our collection, particularly those from marginalized or underrepresented communities.
You may recall that we had a contest last summer to choose a name for this initiative, and Broaden our Bookshelf was selected. This program has been added to the Recommend a Purchase form under the “Main Reason for Request” drop-down menu.
Thank you to Caeleigh and Natasha for your input on this page and to Junelle for creating it!
