What does the future hold for libraries??

What do you think the future holds for printed books and ebooks. How long do you think bookshops will last before they outlive their time?

*Some answers would be featured in the post including links to your site or our indiehackers profile that is if you agree.

    I think libraries will always be here, and you can already see in most places in the US libraries offer free computer/internet access. I can see them providing paper/3D printing services, being able to check out software, and maybe VR experiences. Just look to technical university libraries, many of them are moving books offsite (with them being able to be requested and delivered) and moving to study/work spaces.

      That is a great answer. May I include in my post? I will link back to your indiehackers page or any site of your choice.
