In the U.S., libraries do not pay a per use fee for the paper books.
I do not know if libraries can purchase at a "library discount".
I do know that some hardback books are purchased from publishers at 'regular' retail; some are purchased with 'library binding' which I believe costs more than the regular retail cost.
Paperbacks, I believe, are purchased at retail cost.
It has been a long time since I was involved with purchasing books for a library.
