An interesting idea but in a way quite inefficient given the energy costs to get a person to the library. The web is by far a more cost and energy efficient delivery mechanism.
Still I am truly amazed by the level of tech even at my small town library. I recently went there for the first time in probably 15 years and was floored at the changes from where they were. The free wifi's web connection runs around 20Mbps. Were it not for the fact I can't use the chairs they have there for more than about 10-15 minutes I would probably use them far more often.
