[aisle] form for recording patron purchase requests

[Deborah Handler]

I have a suggestion box and I have a form which I linked to a at code that
I’ve hung in the library and sent the link a couple times a year to
teachers. It’s important to have settings set to tell you when someone
filled it out though so you know to check.
