Isn't this the way the library works now? We pay property taxes, the librarians buy books, we check them out. We can request the librarian buy certain books, and in my experience, they listen. The only thing that is missing is the priority position. But there are so many books, I don't mind being on a waiting list. Frankly, ever since I could search online and reserve books (paper or ebooks) I have been using the library like I used to when I was 12!
