Yeah, in nordic countries there is certain drive for modern tech. And those fees were carry over from some years past when ebook-readers and devices weren't available.
Still, for government(or municipal really) service in a small country, there is some sense to support culture in way of off-setting losses from lending books. Only a few writers here can make their living by writing.
If you think about it, public lending is like piracy, only you circulate the same copy... Hmm, is that illegal, make a network where you circulate copies of stuff so you aren't copying it but transfering ;D
