When an item in our collection goes missing, we evaluate it to decide whether or not to replace it based on availability and whether it has circulated enough to merit re-purchase.  If there is a title you want the library to consider you can suggest the title for purchase (you may want to note that the library copies are missing if it is a title we already own). The link for the suggestion for purchase form is: http://ww5.cityofpasadena.net/library/reading-recommendations/suggestions-for-purchase/

We can also do a search to see if any other California libraries has a copy and request that the item be sent here. This is done through our InterLibrary Loan ("Interlibrary Loans" tab) service. There is a fee for this service.
