What is the average SW user doing regarding library pricing? Are you seeing (and/or choosing) discounted prices for this category over the regular price or just keeping the same price?

I'm not an average SW user as most of my works are priced at less than 2.99, many at 99 cents, but works at 2.99 I've discounted to 1.99 for libraries.

I give the first three in my series to libraries free, the next three are $0.99, the rest are full price.

I discount my $2.99 books to $1.99 and leave the 99 cent book as is.

Thanks folks, good info. I've been wondering how to deal with this. Also I plan to (once I figure out how) send free copies to my local libraries, since these folks have been kind to me for many years. Do I just send them a link and a coupon or something else.

I believe the libraries have to join Smashwords to access your ebooks there. A link and a coupon code will do it. Just remember to put a time limit on the coupon code, otherwise everyone who looks at your Smashwords ebook page with the coupon will see the code.
You might want to consider using the free conversion utility Calibre to convert your ebook to epub or mobi, or make a PDF of your work and send that to the libraries. Ask them what formats they prefer and would PDF be acceptable PDF would be the simplest.
