I lived in Boston, MA, when D&D 4e came out, and the public library there acquired copies of some of the core books. I now live in Lexington, KY, and have seen copies of the Pathfinder Core Rulebook on the shelves (and once, one of the librarians had even made a sort of spotlight display for them).

One issue I've come across with RPG books in libraries is that they tend to get stolen too often for some libraries to want to buy more. (My high school's library lost so many issues of Dragon Magazine to theft that they cancelled their subscription and withdrew every issue they still had.) I've heard fewer such complaints in recent years, but that may just be that such things don't ping my radar as often since I stopped working regularly in school and public libraries.
