My librarian told me they can all "submit" the choices (electronically) and then there's voting. So it doesn't take that long. She said the main problem with my requests was they were usually books the publisher didn't make available to libraries. I actually had better luck with smaller publishers. But publishers like Carina Press don't make their books available for libraries and many of their authors are ebooks only.
My library also would not order overdrive books if the books were in stock in the library in paper. They didn't want overlap because of the costs. I understood that and got better about checking that sort of thing.
