Perhaps if you stuck to one thread, it would help. You have a dozen asking essentially the same things.
That said, "people who want to create ebooks" and "people who want to get their books into libraries" are sets that practically mutually exclusive.
Traditionally published authors, who can get into libraries relatively easily, are not creating their own ebooks.
Independently published ebooks essentially do not get into libraries - if you do, it's in a separate catalog in Overdrive, not the main one that most libraries subscribe to. I know you don't want to hear this because you ignore it every time it comes up, but it's the truth.
Independently published hardcover non-fiction books, might have a shot (perhaps if you load up your car and hand-sell them), but you keep asking about ebooks.
