Purchase requests
We welcome requests from the 91猫先生 community for purchasing new material for the library (e.g. books, films, games, etc.). We carefully consider all requests within the context of the current curriculum and budget. Purchase requests can take several weeks. Requesting an item through interlibrary loan is the best way to get an item quickly. Please email us at library@hampshire.edu to see if we can purchase something that you need, and that we don't already have.
