Ask Your Library to Carry Divorce Happens
Public libraries add books because their own patrons ask for them — it's usually free, takes about two minutes, and every request counts toward whether a title gets ordered. Find your library below, then use the search link and script to make the ask.
Before you search: have your library card number handy (sometimes called a barcode) — most purchase-request forms ask for it. If you don't have a card yet, most libraries let you sign up online in a few minutes, so it's worth doing first.
Your library
This opens a search built from your library's exact name and city — their site is almost always the first result. Look for a link called "Suggest a Purchase," "Recommend a Title," or "Request an Item."
Script to use in the request form
Book details, if the form asks for them separately
Some forms (like this one) ask for title, author, and format in separate fields rather than one message — these lines are for pasting into those.
Can't find a form on their site? Call or email the library and ask for whoever handles collection development or acquisitions — every library has someone in that role, even ones without an online form.
Where People Have Requested It
Every time someone asks their library to carry it, it shows up here. Pick your library, tell us you made the request, and watch the map fill in.
