I'm disappointed my local library system barely seems to care about light novels.
Libraries stock what circulates, especially in the YA section. They're often early to get budget cuts and they have to purchase books for a very wide array of people. Mine is a fairly large one and it only carries comic books, graphic novels and manga because they circulate more than the average YA novel (and that's because we got a new librarian in who's fairly young herself and serious about getting the section modernized).
Mine also carries manga and comics, but the comic trades tend to be scattered over several sections.
transmetropolitan was put among the adult authors, like King and Meyer, while Marvel's all-age comic trades tend to be put in the Kids section. And as a fat white guy, who tends to shave every other month, that is one place I do not want to go. Not in this day and age.
They do tend to keep most manga and comic trades in one spot, thankfully, and there's always the option of visiting the library website and putting a book on hold. So there's that.
