Libraries aren't just books, though. That's kind of an old fashioned view of Libraries. Many librarians coming out of schools now have degrees in information services, and they're fairly progressive programs that are a subset of computer science programs. Many of the librarians I know are experts at using the web. For example, libraries provide services like access to computers and the Internet, for modern kids and adults without access to the Internet. Many libraries also now provide ebooks available for the Kindle and Nook devices. And then there's the fact that they're merely an indoor public space, usually with rooms freely or nominally available for the public to simply meet and share ideas.
