I do know about library priorities. I'm a huge fan of Ian Irvine and our great big library here in Knoxville, TN has exactly 0 copies of his work. And JK's is always checked out. Luckily, you can find any book you want online.

in the library's defense, they have almost the complete works of mercedes lackey, and i love her work too. but as it's only 2 months till book 7, time to get out 1 thru 6 and read them again so i am refreshed. i've never read ian irvine, will look to see if they have it here. maybe the librarians haven't read hp, so that's why they don't have them? sometimes people don't know what they're missing. or maybe someone stole the missing copies and they don't replace them. maybe i should ask!

does your library offer interlibrary loan? maybe you could get books that way. i do that with books that i don't want to buy.
