Tubemonkey, that is the only thing I use the library for, as well. Ebooks. And I think that is the future.

Wow, they're really clamping down on the availability of e-services.
I agree with you; the future is digital. For me, the internet killed off my visits to the library. I used to go several times a week to read magazines, browse through the books, and then check out some of each. With the net, I was able to get my magazine fix in the comfort of my home. For books, I'd reserve them online and then go to the library long enough to pick them up. Now that ebooks are so readily available, there isn't anything a library has to offer that would compel me to set foot inside.
My use of public libraries is now 100% digital. If the physical buildings disappeared tomorrow, it wouldn't affect me at all.
