We can't always purchase an ebook, even if you have found it available to purchase somewhere online  

  • We have no way to purchase kindle ebooks on Amazon

If you find a book available on Amazon as a kindle ebook, there is no way for our platforms to support that format.  It may be available in a format that we can support from another vendor, so feel free to send a request for the title, but please be aware that we may not be able to get it for you as an ebook.

  • Some ebooks are only available in packages

Some e-books can't be purchased individually because of the way they are offered for sale.  Packages of ebooks are expensive, so if the only option for purchasing a single copy is as part of a package, we will most likely not be able to obtain that title.

  • Publishers my not allow the Libraries to purchase an ebook they have identified as a textbook.
