<p class="MsoNormal">I have used a "suggestion box" for several years. It works great.
<a href="https://d181.booksys.net/opac/elms/index.html#menuVisual" target="_blank">You can see it on the Elm School library catalog.</a> There have been 458 suggestions since I started in 2014, 62 this year. I make tabs in the spreadsheet for each year. I get notified when
someone makes a suggestion.<u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I give the disclaimer that I read reviews of all the books suggested and not every suggestion will make it into the library, but the vast majority do. Kids are thrilled when a book they suggested becomes part of the library. They've made
some great ones.<u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Does anyone use a Google Form or similar to record patron purchase requests? Teachers and students frequently ask me to buy the latest book in a series, or start buying a new series, and when they ask me in the hallway, it's hard to remember
to capture that information! I would love if there were a form they could fill out electronically. It would also provide excellent data for my annual evaluation about student engagement with the library program. <u></u><u></u></p>
