The technical effort involved to remove DRM is not any bigger for a library book than it is for a purchased book, so that is not a real argument for or against it. From a libraries point of view what really is the difference between person A that format shifts (for example to read on a specific reading device of choice) and person B that "without breaking any rules" extends the borrow period by putting their ereader into airplane mode. Sure person B did not remove the DRM, but still circumvented it anyway.
