Are they always checked out to someone else, or does the library not own 
them?  Your library should have a way to put you on the waiting list, so 
they can hold the book for you the next time it comes in.  (Mine will let 
me put a hold on a book online, even.)  If they just don't own the book, 
you can suggest that they buy it, or request an Interlibrary Loan where 
they borrow it from another library for you.  Some libraries charge for 
that option; I think mine charges 50 cents minimum, to help pay for the 
postage expenses.  For things I don't want to own, it's pretty cheap.

Speaking of holds, I've had Aerie on hold at the library, and I just got 
the notice that it's in and waiting for me.  I do like the online features 
of my library.  If they've got something on order, but it's not available 
to check out, I can still get on the waiting list for it.  It's definitely 
better than having to remember myself to look for a certain book everytime 
I'm there.
