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?
No, I was referring to print books. As of yet, there are no libraries in The Netherlands that lend eBooks. They only provide Project Gutenberg downloads of Dutch classics.
