If people stop using libraries and start reading e-books
instead there are many things that the libraries can do in order to stay
updated. There will always be demand for a physical copy of a book so they do
not need to get rid of these. However they need to expand what they are
offering.
Libraries could release and app that allows users to enter
their library card number and allow them to take out books instead of paying
for them. Then they can change the book they have just read for a new book. By
doing this they still have physical books for people to take out but are also
still up to date in technology allowing people to take out books on their
e-reading devices.
Libraries could do a different, more expensive, idea that
means instead of only giving e-books to the people with capable devices they
could have their own e-reader that are cheaply made and available to rent out.
However this is probably a bad idea and would be better if they kept these
inside the library.
