A few questions asked of the tech at my local library branch and basically, they have more romance than any other genre -- they are popular after all -- but those romance novels also have proportionately more holds than mystery, fantasy, science fiction or non-fiction. This suggests that not only are they popular but to satisfy the library patrons, they should have even more copies. Romance is also the genre where books are more likely to expire from the number of checkouts for those publishers who use that option.
All this is subject to the "There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics" rule.
