Information & Imagination

You can ask a question of a skilled librarian via email.

Tip: Be sure tell us as much additional information about your question as you can.  The better we understand what you are trying to find, the better we can help you! Also, please include contact and pick-up information (see more below.)

Send to: webref@piercecountylibrary.org

Include your contact information in your email:

1. Bestsellers, major authors or performers, or major new feature films:
   • Generally there is no need to submit a suggestion for new titles of major authors or performers. Be assured that the Library is aware of, and will be purchasing, most bestsellers, major authors/performers or recent feature films.
     
   • Your patience, in waiting for these titles to appear in the catalog rather than e-mailing a purchase request, is gratefully appreciated. These popular titles will soon show up in our catalog, searchable by title or author/performer. You can place a hold on the title as soon as it is ordered and is in the catalog. (View titles currently on order.)

2. For new titles which are not from major authors:
   • Please send in your e-mail giving as much information as possible, including an estimate of when it was/will be published. The Library retains the right of final purchase decision, but we do appreciate your suggestions.
     
3. For a title the Library does not own, but is older than 2 years, please submit an InterLibrary Loan request. We will try to obtain it for your use.
