Not often, but certainly sometimes.
Most recently, Sunrise on the Reaping. I would have been content to wait patiently for the library book, BUT, hubby had just finished re-reading the whole Hunger Games series, and he hadn't ever decided on a birthday present he wanted, (he's impossible to shop for), so I suggested that I buy the book for him. Win, win!
Other times, if I've liked a book, I might buy it after having read it through the library, usually if I see a good sale deal.
Another time, I had a hold on a new Laurie R King "Mary Russell" mystery, when a brief and good sale deal came up. I bought the book, cancelled my hold. Something like that is my opportunity to support an author more directly, and if I know it's a series I like, and might re-read, I'm all for it.
It's fair to say that, though the vast majority of my reading is through the library and always has been, I'm open to "ownership opportunities" if the price is right.
