My parents worked and didn't take me to the library. I walked or rode my bike. I don't think that's an option these days. My local library is in an area without sidewalks or bike lanes. Getting there for most would involve crossing roads and streets where walking or riding a bike would not be safe or practical.
Ebooks make the library more accessible. It encourages reading.

Really, really good points! I've never even thought of the obvious benefits to young readers. I also started my reading on Library books and didn't start buying until I went in the Army.
Karma coming your way.
