Library Book Request Form
A book request scrawled on a sticky note at the front desk doesn't make it into any queue, and it definitely doesn't get anyone a call when the book actually arrives. Collect what your library actually needs, the title, patron information, and how they'd like to be notified, before the note gets buried under the next stack of returns.
Patrons tend to ask for a book however they happen to catch someone, a note left at the desk, a quick mention on the way out, a comment to whichever staff member is shelving that day. The request depends entirely on that person remembering to write it down and follow up, and if a title turns out to be popular, requests can come in from different patrons on different days without anyone realizing there's real demand building for it.
Typeform's library book request form asks for what your library actually needs, patron information, book title and author, and how they'd like to be notified when it's available, then uses conditional logic to branch from there. A request for a title the library already owns can route to a hold instead of a purchase request, and a book that's out of print or hard to source can ask whether the patron is open to an interlibrary loan. Every request lands in one record instead of a note that might or might not make it to whoever orders books.
Connect the form to your library management system through Zapier, and a request can log itself against the catalog automatically, flagging titles the library doesn't own yet for whoever handles acquisitions. Keep the link posted at the desk and on your website, and your staff can track demand across every request, instead of guessing which titles patrons actually want.
A library book request form is an online form patrons use to ask for a specific title, whether that means placing a hold on a book the library owns or requesting one it doesn't. Instead of a verbal request or a note at the desk, it lands in a record staff can actually track.
A note left at the desk depends on whoever finds it to follow up, and it's easy for a request to get set aside and forgotten during a busy shift. A form captures the same request in a place staff can check consistently, without relying on a scrap of paper making it to the right person.
Ask for what your library will actually need to act on the request:
- Patron name and contact information
- Book title and author
- Format preference, like print, large print, or audiobook
- Notification preference, like email or text
- Notes on urgency or interlibrary loan interest
Not necessarily. Whether a title gets purchased or held depends on budget, availability, and your library's own acquisition policy, so a request starts a review rather than guaranteeing an outcome. Set that expectation upfront so patrons know what submitting the form actually means.
Yes. Add a file upload question and patrons can attach a photo, a screenshot, or a reading list in the same submission, no separate email required. Pair it with conditional logic so the upload only appears when a patron indicates they have something to share.

Tenant Repair Request Form
A text message about a leaky faucet sent at 11pm isn't a work order your maintenance team can act on efficiently, especially without a photo or a unit number attached. Collect the property, the issue, and how urgent it is before the request lands in someone's texts, so a repair doesn't wait on a landlord scrolling back through old messages.

Video Request Form
A Slack message asking for "a quick video for the launch" isn't a creative brief your video team can actually start from. Collect the project purpose, deadline, and deliverable specs before the request lands in a queue, so your team isn't reworking a video built on assumptions the requester never actually stated.

Product Enquiry Form
A generic "I'm interested in your product, can you tell me more?" email doesn't tell your sales team which product, what quantity, or what the customer's actually trying to do with it. Collect what your team actually needs, product interest, quantity, and use case, before you reply.
