Due to devastating COVID-related budget cuts, MPL’s budget for new materials was eliminated. Library staff have created an Amazon wishlist of titles they anticipate will be in demand. Would you like to help by gifting them to the collection? If you wish, you can put your library card number on the gift receipt and the Library will place the book on hold for you when it’s ready to circulate. You are welcome to order from another vendor. You can also donate new releases not on this list, but a librarian will review these based on the Library’s Collection Development policy before making a decision to add them to the collection.
