They say they offer 2 million titles. Some are just audiobooks, but most are eBooks. That's a lot of backlist. No library can afford to buy or lease more than a small portion of them. Is that what you meant?
Correct, and I have access to several different libraries. I spend quite a bit of time filing requests for them to buy specific backlist titles, with mixed success. It isn't their focus.
