No, the books you purchase from librarybin do not go into circulation:
Quote:
How does LibraryBIN.com work?
At LibraryBIN.com you can purchase eBooks and digital audiobooks. The proceeds of each sale, after deducting the payment to the publisher for the wholesale cost of the title plus a hosting and fulfillment fee, are donated to the participating library that you specify. Participating library websites have 'Buy It Now' links displayed next to titles available for purchase at LibraryBIN.

What portion of a purchase goes to support the library?
After deducting the payment to the publisher for the wholesale cost of the title plus a hosting and fulfillment fee, the net profit from each sale goes to the library.

How can the library use the funds that it earns from LibraryBIN.com?
Funds the library earns from LibraryBIN.com can be used to purchase eBooks, audiobooks, and other media for its library download website.
I don't understand WHY I can't just donate books to be circulated! This makes no sense to me. I really wanted to buy a specific collection of YA books for my library system...
