The idea that libraries are meant for quiet reading time is dead. Libraries have become valuable resources of technology, ideas and space. Communities and libraries were forward-looking enough to realize that change was necessary for relevance and saw the opportunities the library could provide by embracing technologies and becoming more of a social epicenter than, I think, anyone ever would have imagined a few decades ago. And libraries are better for those changes, in my opinion, because libraries can be many things to many people now, instead of providing a few services to some members of the community.
Libraries aren't what they used to be!
