We tend to follow whatever seems popular, also. Budget constraints
don't allow us to automatically buy whatever new editions there are,
but if someone puts in a purchase request for something, the director
will buy it.
We also have some that folks might not agree with, but it's a
library's job to provide whatever folks want to read. We have had
Dobson's books stolen, though.
(I won't get on my soapbox about censorship ;-)

I have told the librarians about a finance book wich gave legal advice
that was applicable under US laws but completely wrong under UK laws:
I thought there ought to have been a warning that this advice was bad
for people in the UK.

I don't believe in censorship, but I did read one library book that I
thoughthad appalling childcare advice, even worse then Ezzo/Dobson.
It was by someone who had written books for adults and had never brought
up any children himself (he had a son on another continent). The advice in
the book can be summarised as "allowing children to show *any* emotion is
bad, and they should be told it is 'piggy' doing it".
