SERVICE ALERT: Due to the end of the fiscal year, ordering has been temporarily paused. We expect ordering to resume in mid-July. Suggested titles will remain under review until then.
We welcome your suggestion for newer books, audiobooks, magazines, DVDs, Blu-rays, CDs, vinyl records and digital materials published within the last 10 years. Please allow up to 12 weeks for requests to be fully processed.
- Log in to your Bibliocommons account.

Please note that Suggest a Title is not a reservation system. It is intended to be used for titles initially overlooked in our selection process. For older print books, please use the LINK+ service, a lending partnership between SFPL and libraries in California and Nevada. Most available LINK+ books can delivered to your preferred branch for pickup within 7 to 10 business days.
