Local Author Request

This form can be used by authors to suggest that the Library purchase a title we do not own. To suggest a new title, please read the following guidelines and then fill out the form below.

Check the library catalogue before making a suggestion.

If an item is not published yet please wait until the publication date to make a suggestion.

Submissions are reviewed within the context of the library’s established selection criteria outlined in our Collection Development and Local History Policy.

Due to the volume of submissions, we are unable to contact or meet with authors individually, nor are we able to confirm whether or not we have decided to add the work. If accepted, the item will be purchased and added to our catalogue.

Local authors: we consider any author who lives, works, or owns property in East Gwillimbury to be a local author.

If you would like us to purchase your book, please ensure that it is available in our vendor’s catalogue: https://www.whitehots.com/home/library 

Please note that items delivered to the library will be treated as donations and become the property of East Gwillimbury Public Library. We are unable to return any item(s) if we decide not to include it in our collection.
