Most of the time I can find a book but there is a good amount of times I can't. Mostly because I know about too many books. I don't think I've ever had a book purchased based on my request.

I hate when the big reveal ends up being something that doesn't quite make sense. I should look into making purchase suggestions sometime.

I am also trying to pay it back by donating my book haul items to them. When I suggest a purchase I also feel more pressure to enjoy the book since the library actually went out and spent money on it.
