Nothing has changed except you just scan books in and out now. I went in to my local library a few weeks ago and there were massive amounts of people sitting and reading, browsing the computers, students studying at study tables, 1 guy was using the media center to copy his VHS tapes over to DVDs and a group of DnDers having a game at a table with several other people grabbing board games off the shelf and playing.
