Saw this today and thought of the discussion here about the effect of e-books on libraries.

The story has to do with digital music - but contains this quote: "The library ... has had a steady drop-off in loans of CDs. 'Anytime you see those negative figures, that's when you start asking, 'What's the new type of service, where we can continue to grow?' [director Mary] Ludlum said." Libraries needn't be (solely) places for physical books to collect dust.
