Perhaps it's due to the modernization of libraries? I used to use mine extensively before I went digital, but my library has a great online interface. I requested whatever books I wanted. If they were in, they would get pulled for me and be waiting at a cart in the front. If there was a list, they would email me when my turn came up and again they were waiting up front.
So, I never wandered the book shelves, since I would come in, pick up and check out my books (5 minutes max) and be on my way.
