Make the Library Your Own -- Tell us what to Buy!

Did you know that if you are interested in a book, a movie or a CD, and the Stratford Library does not own it,  you can suggest that we purchase it for the library's collection? If we do purchase your suggestion, we call you when it is ready to check out so you can be the first person to enjoy it.

Chances are that if you are interested in a book or a movie, other members of the library will be interested too.

While our budget is limited, it doesn't hurt to ask. Most of the time we are able to fill requests made by our patrons, one way or another.

You can either call us (203-385-4164), stop by in person, or fill out this online form to make your suggestion: http://www.stratford.lib.ct.us/request-for-purchase.html

Just in the last week, the library purchased these items based on patron suggestions: 

• the Charlton Heston classic "The Greatest Show on Earth"
• a book of photos taken from the Space Shuttle
• a book about how to sell your home through an auction
• the new autobiography of Senator Marco Rubio

Let us know what you'd like to see on the shelves. After all, it is YOUR library.

And if you don't have a library card yet, what are you waiting for? It's free and it takes just a minute to sign up. A whole world of books, movies and music are here for you to explore.
