More Books that is….
City University Library has been running the More Books scheme now for 3 years, and we 
have bought thousands of books through it.
What is it?
Students recommend books that they think should be on our shelves. The book can either be a new title for us to buy, or another copy of one we already stock but that never seems to be available…
All we ask is that it is relevant to your course, and costs less than £80.
Why?
We want to stock the books you want to read and find useful; gems that you’ve discovered yourself that won’t necessarily be on your reading list (we always buy those).
By asking you to recommend books, we hope to add to the ones your subject librarians and lecturers order, and create a library collection that everyone feels proud of.
How?
Just fill in the online form. If we can’t purchase your request we will let you know and explain why.

“Thank you for running the More Books campaign. I have always wanted to read these books, but I couldn’t find them in the library…”
