Maybe there needs to be a shift in how libraries operate? While having a physical copy is nice, I think a move to digitize at least a portion of the library, namely magazines and videos would help. It would be cool if I could log in to my local library using my library card and pick a book, magazine or video to borrow and have it auto-return. I know Amazon has implemented a system like this already this summer. Libraries could even offer in building e-readers with the entire library downloaded for browsing.
