Many people talk about libraries being irrelevant in the modern world, and I disagree. My local library has all kinds of activities going on, computers, devices rentals/loans, ebooks, free Wi-Fi, and all kinds of other stuff. It also still stocks books, DVDs, and other materials. As for printed physical media, I view it as rather essential for a society. It may not be vital now, but were the current global society to have another depression in which spinning rust and millions of GPUs were expensive luxuries, the dead trees would still be useful.
