Alma College faculty members have the primary responsibility for making selections for additions to the collection. Requests are charged to the department's library budget allocation. Suggestions may be submitted on order forms available at the library, by submitting publishers' catalogs or Choice cards, or by completing the online book request form. Students and other patrons may make suggestions for items to be added to the collection using forms found at the Circulation desk in the library. Send questions about ordering to Carol Zeile.
The Acquisitions Department maintains an Acquisitions Resources page with links to useful sites for library acquisitions.

In the more than 100 years since its founding, Alma has stayed true to its roots by keeping its Scottish heritage alive. Today, Alma features a marching band clad in Kilts, a Scottish dance troupe, student pipers and its own tartan. Each year, the College hosts the Alma Highland Festival and Games, which feature traditional Scottish games and revelry.
