if you want a book and the library doesn't have it, you can fill out a quick form to suggest that the library BUYS the book, or do an interlibrary loan request. i bookmark the links so i can quickly go there if i see the book i want isn't on the library's website. call your library and ask what the URL is for your library's interlibrary loan, and what the link is for suggest a book purchase (the first few people i asked said there was no link, but eventually i happened to get someone more knowledgeable.) now i quickly go to the links whenever i see there is no book on the library site, and they buy it and send it to my library for me to borrow. ive saved a hundreds dollars this year alone, plus made it easier for those who want to read the book - it's now in circulation :-)
in queens library, here is the link for book purchase: http://ift.tt/2mnWpiB here is the link for interlibrary loan: http://ift.tt/2mWz6Jr
nyc library has an interlibrary loan link http://ift.tt/2mnNihY
and probably has a purchase link too, but i live in queens now so i didn't research...here's hoping your library has stuff like this too...
