I guess it's the old YMMV, although there is always the possibility of my being completely wrong
According to
this abstract, small libraries have relatively more fiction. So if your stated public profile location ("The End Of The Earth") is meant literally, this could explain it. The main Philadelphia library only has a one side of one balcanied grand room for fiction, neatly fitting the big-library-bigger-for-non-fiction thesis.
Something else that could explain it is eBook vs. paper. Overdrive collections do seem to have more fiction. Maybe this is another example of smaller collections leaning towards fiction.
