I figured maybe there is a library with a better collection and people that live in cities with good collection might decide to take advantage of their programs.

So I'll start it off. and I will edit to update what others are listing

Chicago Public Library

All Adobe PDF: 1,216
All ePub: 134

New York
http://ebooks.nypl.org
All ePub: 1,086
All PDF: 13,004
NPYL seems to be buying a lot of how-to/self-help/others of that type. And I've noticed some libraries are buying way way too many romance eBooks.
