Not always.  I once bought _Tatting with Visual Patterns_ for my library so
that *they* could store it.

And then I moved.  

On the other hand, I could still get it by ILL.  I can't say the same for
The Handbook of the Nutritional Content of Foods, which used to sit on my
desk for frequent reference.  Time to go through the boxes we pushed up into
the attic to make a path to walk through the garage . . . 

Not to mention that ILL is a good way to examine a book before sending for
it by mail order.
