I think the reticence of libraries to purchase ebooks is because not only do they cost more than hardcover the usage license is time limited, or so I've heard.

I am not surprised in the slightest at that, and it's definitely not the library's fault. Borrowing a book for free is so antithetical to modern digital distribution methods, that publishers can't seem to accept a model that was standard just 10 or so years ago.

Yup.
It’s like they think libraries belong in the same grave as Blockbuster Video shops.
Well, durr.
Have they not seen how many book shops are still out there while the rest of the high street is decaying?
People want books!
