From what you're saying I think you're talking about print books? In which case, yeah, for sure libraries still offer print books that are out-of-print. I was talking about ebooks.

Since ebooks are a bit of a different beast with licensing being involved and some publishers wanting to use a different charging scheme for ebooks than paper books, I was wondering if perhaps a publisher deciding to pull an ebook from sale would also mean that libraries could no longer lend them.

Or did I misunderstand your post and you were indeed referring to ebooks?
