The PLR is the right to get recompensed (if you're a citizen, if you have more than x lendings, subject to a cap etc. etc.) for library borrowing . It's not the same as the exemption in copyright law for libraries, at least in UK, Canadian and the proposed European laws.
There is no actual explicit law relating to libraries ability to buy books, beyond the copies which are sent under Legal Deposit - remembering that the libraries involved there are not lending libraries.
So no, you can't draw a line like that. Especially since, again, there are many countries where a PLR simply does not exist.
