It's worth looking into, anyway.
Get's complicated if you're using a CreateSpace supplied ISBN for the book - you can't use that on a locally printed version. Similarly with the cover if you use the CreateSpace cover "wizard". I'd imagine that, for copies for national/local libraries and local promotion, you'd want identical books with the same ISBN and outside cover as the ones produced via CreateSpace and available for purchase on Amazon.
