It's just a supposition on my part but I think the reason that libraries were distributing WMA files instead of MP3 files is because they had DRM capabilities. However the most popular/prevalent players in the world, iPods along with some other players, don't support WMA files, so maybe that is why some libraries are changing over to MP3's, which all players support.
Good riddance, what the heck does it matter if you listen to a book within 2 weeks, 2 months or 2 years if they are going to let you check it out anyway... it's not like a physical book that deprives other readers from using it. And it's not like music that you want to play again and again... how many time will you listen to an audio book... 10 times, 20 times?
