Donors often get what they want. After all, you did want the library to direct the donation in the direction you wanted, to e-books. Nothing wrong with that. Then the library asked if you wanted it directed to specific types of e-books. That's the sort of thing a donor might want to do. You didn't want to have your donation directed any more narrowly than that, you just wanted your donation broadly directed to e-books, there's nothing wrong with that. But if you can direct your donation to e-books, what is wrong with directing your donation to specific types of e-books? Someone might want the library to buy more history or math books, for example.
None of the poll options are viable answers. We need libraries. Libraries aren't just for poor people, libraries are an integral part of the community. If they were made into places just for the poor, they would soon close. They would lose support from the people turned away, and poor people would no longer go there, as library use would most likely become stigmatized.
