Hi All!

I was just curious on how libraries get their ebooks.

Do they buy all their copies or do they get some by donation, or at discount prices?

I was just wondering because a book I got on the waiting list for had 8 copies and when I checked my status a few days later while I was on the site they had 16 copies.

Most books on the site have 1 or 2 copies per book.
