i thinking what will be the hybrid form of after resurrection of printed books, in that case even these ebooks wont exist.

Those pbooks will last a lot longer than you seem to think, if they are well-treated. Being that this is an actual archival library we are talking about here, I am going to hazard a guess that the people who work there actually have a degree in the preservation of pbooks.
Many of them will not be digitized in any way shape or form until at least the date they go into the public domain. Which can be a long time yet. So your solution is no solution.
