Gwen,
From my recollections of years ago as a New York Public Library patron, I suspect that there was probably another area with stacks and such, and the popular fiction you saw may have been the branch's holdings of "hot" 7-day books (no reserves, no renewals): latest Stephanie Plum, Grisham, etc.
I was struck by how you plan to read library e-books on devices that don't seem compatible with Overdrive (as far as I could tell).
