While I dislike DRM on my own purchased works intensely, I don't have an issue with the idea of library DRM. DRM does provide tools for managing and tracking individual licenses - and as long as libraries continue to track eBooks similarly to paper books (we have x number of copies available and once they're all out the next person has to wait until someone returns one), they are going to need a way to manage those licenses.
I think letting them have DRM on those books is a reasonable trade-off for being able to read them for free.
