Well they must do well at my library as they buy a ton of them and many seem to be checked out quite often. IIRC we have Harry Potter, for example, in 7 or 8 languages as eBooks and 3 or 4 in audio as well.



I can't say if their spending is "proportionate" in various categories, but Romance books, as well as being very popular, tend to also cost a lot less so they may be spending similar amounts on many areas, but getting more "bang for their buck" in some than others.

Romance also tends to go on sale more on the consumer end, but I don't know if their are sales for libraries through OD sometimes too or not.
