Evolving libraries equals increased attendance equals more funding, which could lead to extended hours and more branches.

You can't even apply for a job or unemployment in some places without access to a computer. It's all well and good to decry the numbers of computers in libraries, but they do serve a purpose to the underserved. Heck, I have two computers in my house and there have still been times when I had to go to the library and use theirs.
