You don't think your library keeps circulation statistics on each item and plans accordingly? It sounds an awful lot like you're personally insulted that your library caters to people who have different preferences than you.

Read it all again. Its not about preferences. Its about being a library (repository of knowledge available to all) vs just being a day-care center for a thin demographic.

Then you're confusing the mission of a public library and a research library, it seems like you're describing and desiring the latter.
