My library is also stopping getting the Macmillan digital books; not sure about the printed books.
The library stated the terms of "1 copy" for the 'library' & a wait of 8 weeks for other copies. I think that the library is justified in being upset about the '1 copy' as the library is a county library with around 22 local branches; would prefer that the '1 copy' be for each branch.
The library also has a blurb on the home page that updates some statistics. As of yesterday, the library loaned out a bit over 1.897 million digital copies of books. Looks to be lots of usage of digital books.
Now, if the school libraries also join in not buying Macmillan printed or ebooks & the teachers not using Macmillan text books, Macmillan will have a loss.
