Here's an article on public libraries and how 99% of them now offer internet access, how they have maintained themselves as public forums and community centers by going virtual, and allowing more noise. I think this shows how libraries can still remain very relevant in a digital age, and in a way often overlooked by those who promote digital libraries as only "gateways" to information. However, as community centers do they complement or compete with other community centers, such as YMCA's, coffee shops, bookstores, etc.
