I worked for a large, well-funded library system. If you belong to the library, you can request purchase of your book directly, in person or on the internet site. The Librarian also should be happy to request purchase. Our library makes it a point to purchase books written by local authors.
As to the general question, I leave it up to others. I know that our acquisitions department does not respond to direct solicitation, nor do they even like donations of books (with, again, the possible exception of local authors, especially professors who want to donate a textbook they've written). We deal through Baker & Taylor---might want to check out their policies.
Could be dependent on which country, however in the Philippines it requires the Director of Public Libraries to compile and publish in book form all the speeches, messages and writings of the late President Manual Roxas and distribute without charge to all schools, libraries and colleges and to sell copies to the public at cost
There are 1091 public libraries in California.
depends what library but most do sell books. Most libraries have an ongoing process of "weeding" by which they remove books that no longer fit their needs, in order to make space for new materials. These are often sold to the public. Also, libraries often receive donations that contain books they do not need, or already have; by agreement with the donor, they will sell those as well. Some libraries sell such books on an ongoing basis, but many have an annual book sale in order to increase publicity.

Because libraries are the great equalizers with regard to literature and research, open to everyone no matter what the income. Libraries also are the place where community gathers bringing together diverse cultures and multigenerations around enrichment. Libraries support education, open long after school is closed. Libraries are there for people from cradle to grave. Libraries are also a great place to curl up with a good book.
Libraries don't typically sell books that are currently in the collection, but many public libraries will have periodic sales of books that have been weeded from the collection. Other types of libraries, such as academic libraries, rarely (if ever) sell weeded items.

You can find it at all good bookstores and libraries. Some public libraries may have bought it as an e-book.
