As mentioned earlier, libraries now serve many other purposes. Delivery of information is not the only one. I recently used my library in an extreme heat wave as a way to get free air conditioning. It had the side benefit of giving my kid a place to practice walking, with many low shelves to use as handholds, and she got to chew on toys and books with other children and swap germs. And then I got to leave, and not bring any of that crap home except the germs, the kid, and a few good books.
