Apparently Harper Collins sells the ebooks to the libraries at a 20% discount. In comparison, many publishers sell it at a 150% markup.
For a $10 ebook, this runs the library about 38¢ per checkout. The library also saves in that there are no overdue fees and minimal checkout time.

Some interesting Math there, get the price down to a quarter and you got a deal!
