I'm actually more likely to read the "great books" on my ereader than I'm likely to either buy them or take them out of the library. I've already got 100 that came with the reader, some that I've always been meaning to read. I haven't actually used my library in years; most the genre books that I like come out only in paperback and my library doesn't buy them, and their SciFi section is abysmal.
But man, if you want sagas about an Irish girl who emigrates to the USA in the early 1900's and subsequently founds a family empire, or stories about 40-ish women whose husbands divorce them for a younger model and who have to subsequently face a life-threatening condition alone, then that's your library.
