While I disgree with getting rid of the library, it is nice to see someone trying to push digital education.
As far as the coffee machine goes, they probably are charging the students for the coffee, and I bet you that it'll pay itself off in no time at all. The university I go to has to some extent done the same thing (except the library didn't get rid of all of its books, and those that it did are still available if you request in advance), and the coffee bar is fairly busy.
