The libraries here have a website that patrons can put book titles into to request that the library buy them. Usually they are pretty good about purchasing requested books. I imagine that they get so few requests for specific titles as opposed to the total number of books that they buy that satisfying the requests is not a problem for them. After all it is part of their charter.
