Will libraries eventually cease to exist?

We all love libraries and books but information at your fingertip via the internet is slowly becoming the go to place for information. What purpose will libraries hold in the future.

I worry about that all the time. I run a business off an internet platform, I Google and use the fun apps... but I've never gotten used to ebooks, I love to spend a rainy day with a real book reading, I like to hold it in my hands. I love a dog eared copy. Technology is cold. It's not the same.

I love the library, I live in a small town where the library is considered Central and important, but I can see it losing its popularity every year.

I love books too but I've slowly crossed over to ebooks. It's easier, faster and manageable. I travel frequently for work, I buy ebooks and store on my iPad.
