I once read that we will move into a paperless society within 20 years time. This was a few years ago. While I could picture that happening in the coming future it's hard to fathom it occurring that soon. If it happens libraries will have to move into different services.
I don't see us completely abandoning books, especially considering much of the developing world is still, well developing. There will always be a need for books, magazines and other media, much of it will be available electronically.
In the past ten years I have seen libraries change dramatically. It went from a place that you could not talk loud in, to a place where there are vending machines and DVD rentals. We'll just have to evolve with the times.
