you should request that they purchase them for their collection. That's what libraries are for.

Depends on the library system actually. My own library system is having a heavy debate on precisely this subject. Some of my colleagues want us to purchase everything that a patron requests. Others, like myself, feel that in this day and age of limited funds we need to be prudent with our purchases and only purchase those materials that pass our selection guidelines. (Must have good reviews, be well written, etc).

Looking at the critical reviews, the audience reviews and the domestic gross I can see that my library would not have purchased Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus.

I'm not sure on this. I see both points of view. However basing selection guidelines on quality sounds like a form of censorship. Which would leave patrons like DeeBye out in the cold...assuming libraries in Canada are heated.

I checked today: not only did we acquire Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus at release, the DVD circulates...a lot. As recently as this month.
