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.
