Suggest a Title

We welcome your suggestion for newer books, audiobooks, magazines, DVDs, Blu-rays, CDs, vinyl records and digital materials published within the last 10 years.

  1. Log in to your Bibliocommons account.
  2. Go to My Library Dashboard.
  3. Select Submit a Suggestion.

For older print books, please use the LINK+ service, a 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.

How do I suggest a title without having to log into BiblioCommons?

Body
  • You may submit up to ten (10) requests per month.
  • Newer and popular titles of quality are prioritized over older and obscure ones. Older titles may be available instantly from Hoopla Digital
  • Due to the volume of requests and other factors, please allow up to 8 weeks for requests to be fully processed. 
  • Suggestions will be "approved" or "not approved" with a brief explanation. You can view our response by clicking your username in your account, selecting My Settings and then Suggested Purchases
  • Most approved titles will be available in 6 to 8 weeks, but shipping delays and order cancellations beyond our control may occur. 
  • 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. We are not able to add every suggestion or provide order updates after a purchase decision is issued.
