19. Surely they will buy more copies?

As in at least one for each branch?

My local library (Santa Fe, NM) always orders additional copies based on demand. For instance, they already had about 10 copies of "Astrophysics for People in a Hurry" by Neil deGrasse Tyson, and have 10 more on order. Similar story with Hillary Clinton's current books. Five copies already at the library, five more on order. Sue Grafton's latest, 10 in stock, 10 more on order.

One really nice thing about the library here is that they are extremely responsive to requests for them to buy a book they don't already have. More than once I've put in the request, and the next thing I know it's been ordered and I'm on the hold list for it.
