Use this form to suggest a book or other item you would like us to buy.

Due to the ongoing impacts of COVID worldwide publishing and supply chains continue to be disrupted. This means we need to take a cautious approach to managing our purchasing over the next few months.

For updates on the impact of changing alert levels on our services, visit our COVID-19 page.
