I used to go to the local public library a while back to get actual books. While I was there, I looked at the comics, and the selection was (un)suprisingly small and worthless. They had a few comic strip collections and a copy of Boulevard of Broken Dreams, but nothing more.
The library at the school I attend, however, does a bit better job. It has the Death of Superman, a couple of X-Men trades, and Blankets. That was a nice surprise.
Instead of going to the library, though, I usually just hang out at the local Books-A-Million for hours on end reading graphic novels and comics (and "real" novels, too). I'm not in a situation where I have all the money to buy those books (high school student, no job), and they've got neatly set up "reading stations" with fluffy arm chairs where you can just completely lose track of time and get sucked into the book.
