Yep, you also get a quota of 10 suggested purchases for their collection every month - I scour for new books to max mine out and they grant >95% of what I ask for

I've only suggested a purchase a couple of times. I've never heard back, so I assumed whatever I submitted was being ignored.
If you click your username at top right corner and then the bell (which will have a number if there are notifications) you can find out what happened with those requests
I don't see any notifications. When I go to https://sfpl.bibliocommons.com/suggested_purchases I see only:

Showing 0 suggestions.

10 of 10 suggestions left

Hmm if you'd submitted them in past it's strange to see 0 count. I see all of mine there. https://sfpl.bibliocommons.com/user_profile/me/notification_... shows: > Your suggestion has been approved! The library will acquire the following Book: <title>. To learn more and manage your requests, go to Suggested Purchases.
It was a long time ago. Perhaps I submitted using a different form?
