Libraries make collections decisions all the time. This is just another one of those. There's more than one way they could handle this change:
1) Wealthier libraries will incorporate both formats.
2) Less-wealthy libraries could have one default format, and buy the other format for more popular titles.
3) Financially-strapped libraries will choose a format to go with, and ignore the other, or they'll buy both and cut down on the number of books they provide as e-books.
I think this spells trouble for Sony, though. The Kindle, from all outward appearances, is the more popular device, and the one that would therefore be expected to serve the most patrons.
