It doesn't make sense at all. Perhaps what you meant to say was "This library lacks a section (of books) on movies." Or,
" This library lacks in it's selection of movies."

I'm afraid not - you would be better with either, "this library is lacking in movies" or "this library is badly supplied with movies".
Both mean that the library has too few movies.

No, that's incorrect. You could say that the library is lacking in movies, or that it's movie selection is lacking.

It meant the library needs more movie titles.

I think I know what you mean, so I guess it does make sense, but it is poorly stated. I think you mean the library's movie collection has a limited range of selection.

It means that the books on that certain library doesn't have much movies.

Lacks is not followed by 'on' but by 'of' to mean, DEARTH, SHORTAGE, Because of not enough.
This library runs short of movies, movie-cassettes, DVDs / CVDs.
You can very well say,
'This library lacks movies.
Never, 'lacks on'!

"this library stacks on its movies" would make more sense.
