Definitely bring it up with them and maybe start a local petition to signal how many others care about this issue, because I am betting if you are noticing it then just about everyone else is as well. A friend who used to check out and read tons of books every month finally moved to a dedicated reader a year ago. I agree that this isn't some fad on the way out.
All the major library systems my friends and I use are on OverDrive. That's West Coast USA. It is too bad my library card is no good and I am outside the country
