Libraries are book focused but that is hardly all they do. They are much closer to community centers nowadays, what they provide is closer to; an internet cafe, movie rental store, concert and movie venue, local meeting rooms, 3D printers and a lot I'm sure I've not thought about. they do too much to be innovated away, perhaps the book part could be but they do digital borrowing too so it's unlikely. Libraries only go away if we lose sight of how much they impact our community and are no longer willing to pay for them as a society.
