No, they don't. Your average public library is a curated collection of books considered worthwhile by their patrons, not a random heap of garbage in print. Shelf space is a commodity, too, and they need to decide what to carry, and what not.
I suppose this could be argued for legal deposit libraries like the LOC, which have a somewhat different agenda, but your average library MUST make a selection, on a daily basis no less.
