I do not have hard data on borrowing rates etc. but the two libraries I go to (western suburbs of Paris) are full.
Full of older folks, full of children, full of the children's parents. Purple sit to read and borrow impressive stacks of books.
There are also plenty of students. They could study at home (taken into account the average population wealth) and yet they come to cluster in sub-optimal conditions.
I do not have any concerns for these libraries to dissapear.
I do not know how this works for other countries but French consulates often hold a library as well. They mirror this system of "meeting space" for national and francophones. Last time I tried that was on Krakow, Poland and the experience was great.
