When I discovered Bukowski around 1990, there were five or six books of him in the public library of my hometown. No poetry collections. Only short stories and two novels.
25 years later you can lend fifteen different Bukowski books, i.a. four collections of poetry, Ham on Rye and Pulp, and the posthumous collections edited by David Calonne (Portions, Absence and More Notes). The choice of books could be larger, of course, but this is a small town (pop. 80.000),
so it's not too bad I think. They are on the right track.
What about the library in your hometown? Is Bukowski's work sufficiently represented?
