  The end goal is for all information to come through government sanctioned media only. A small number of large corporations will be the executors of the will of the government in every part of the economy.

Just research the background of the owners of the private equity firm that bought out the library system. They are part of a large family with a strong support system that the average person is not part of. Economic planning under capitalism occurs via decentralized, competitive, and voluntary decisions. The end state we are headed towards will be centralized, uncompetitive, and decisions will be involuntary as there will be no choice.

  Your library would very likely love to have both, but the cost of providing eBooks is such that for systems whose budgets are shrinking, it often does mean choosing one over the other. The decision to eliminate a print collection is unfortunate, but often better than hanging onto a decaying rack of books that only serves to signal to users that the library is outdated and obsolete too.
