These days, books are almost the least important service of a library. They mostly exist as a free social space, events for kids, computer access for the disadvantaged, printers for the average person who no longer owns one. A library I used to leave near even had a room with a digital piano and another with a 3D printer. Giving free access to things that many can't afford is a great public service.
