• RPL will consider purchasing suggested materials that fit into our Collections Policy.
• Authors, titles, or subjects of interest to you that would also be of interest to others; and/or
• Items of local interest, relating to the geographic area of Regina or Saskatchewan.

Requests that do not meet these criteria will automatically be rejected. 

You can submit up to 10 purchase and/or interlibrary loan requests per month. If you are requesting a series, please note that each title in the series will be considered a separate request and will count towards the 10 item limit. 

You’ll need a Regina Public Library card and a PIN (personal identification number) to request a title through interlibrary loan or suggest a title for purchase. Your library account must be in good standing (owing less than $25).

The information you submit to us is all we need to make an informed selection, so please don't deliver or send us a review copy of the material. It won't be added to our collection, and it won't improve the chances of your suggestion being selected.

All unsolicited books, CDs and other items we receive are treated as donated materials: they may be included in the library's book sale, donated to charities, or recycled, in accordance with RPL's Collections Policy.

The library is not obligated to inform donors about the disposition of their donations.

The information you submit will be used to determine if your author submission will be added to our collection.

While we'd love to reply to each request individually, we aren't able to because of the high volume and variety of requests we receive. If you are interested in seeing what we have added to our Collection, please check out our online catalogue!

Magazine articles

• You can request photocopies of magazine articles through interlibrary loan. Please search for the title of the magazine or journal in our E-Journal Portal before submitting your request — we might already have digital access to the article you’re looking for.
• If you still can't find what you are looking for, feel free to submit a request. Keep in mind that our article-sharing partners are Canadian academic and special libraries, so they’ll have access to academic journals, not popular magazines.
• Digital copies are provided in PDF format, free of charge. Print copies will be subject to our usual charges for printing.

Microfilm:

NOTE: Microfilm is temporarily unavailable

• You can select Microform as the format of the item and then fill an as much information as you can.
• Please note that microfilms will only be sent to RPL’s Central Library, where our microfilm readers and printers are kept.
