I'm not against libraries where one can find the services of a good librarian, I just think a lot more can be done if people will use their imagination.

This is a horrible idea.
It's bad for fast food restaurants because they have to pay for space that doesn't produce revenue. It's bad for people who want to read because they are tempted to eat unhealthy food.
Or is the library only available to paying customers?
How about the immigrant and the child go to an actual library?
