I wouldn't recommend a PB360. It's for people who like to tinker. If you want an out of the box experience go for something simpler and cheaper.

A Nook might be a good choice for you, or one of the new Sony readers which have the same pearl screen as the new Kindle.

I wouldn't recommend a Kindle, since you would have to crack the DRM on each library book and then convert each book to .mobi format for the Kindle. It is easy, but you clearly said you weren't interested, and in my own ever-humble opinion, breaking the DRM on library books is a bit sleazy.

As someone else suggested a JetBook Lite also might work for you, although I couldn't stand it. The form factor with the huge battery hump was a big downer for me. And something many of the JBL fans think of as a positive, the no black flash like you get with e-ink, was a big negative for me. I found that changing the page without some sort of interruption, like the black-flash or the cutesy page turn graphic on the iPad literally gives me motion sickness.

I love reading library books on my ereader. Not only are they free, but no late fees! I always finished my books on time, but would forget to bring them back or throw them in the back seat of the car and forget to stop at the library. I'm sure you'll enjoy it too!
