They appear to be another endangered species anyway (according to a recent US-Canadian study, the picture is bleak). Unless there's a major reversal of trends, small libraries are doomed to become extinct. Those that have been recently renovated or won't need to be for a few decades might endure longer, but there's already more and more opposition to awarding funds to libraries. Even now, the stats show that in many university libraries from 35 to up to 70% of purchases made since 1990 have never been borrowed, and it's higher still if you calculate only the 2005-2010 stats. Even Community libraries are more and more shifting toward making a majority of their acquisitions as digital books (and some are shifting to a "just in time" policy, buying a digital copy only if someone requests a book), which in time will make the brick and mortar library obsolete or at least make convincing communities and public organs to fund them or the preservation of their physical collections (often barely valuable, for small libraries, unlike Universities ones and such) harder and harder, when with far less money and resources you could offer a much wider range of digital services.

Anyway, it's what the stats show in Canada and the US at the moment. The richest universities are building themselves high tech facilities, but everywhere else libraries in schools, universities and communities are in very sharp decline and for some most of their business is already done through websites.
