When I worked at the library here, the ONLY romance books purchased were those on the best seller list (usually about 3 to 5 titles per month--the big names, whoever they were at the time). All the paperbacks were donations. When they wore out, they were tossed. More were grabbed from donation boxes each month. I don't know what the library does now with digital. I do know they carry mostly big, classics for kindle when it comes to mystery (The Cat Who books, big name thriller authors, etc).
They do take requests for ebooks, but have a fairly small budget for requests.
