Geez, do we really need more libraries? My 16 year old, Honor Roll, doesn't read a damn thing unless it's on her phone. Books have gone unread since she was a small kid.
Come to think of it, can't remember the last "physical" book I read, not on a tablet.
Slightly different perception(I used to share your opinion)... this spring when I was between jobs, I would go into the libraries during the day to use office area (WiFi, desk, printer, etc). I was SHOCKED how busy they were. Rarely did I see "the homeless " on computers as mentioned below.
I found them to be a huge benefit.
