If anything, libraries will stick around as public places where people can sit freely and do something in silence. In the US, especially in suburbia, it's almost impossible to find a space where you can sit and do whatever you please without having to buy something or feel guilty for taking up a table. (Yes parks, but in many places that's only feasible for half the year.)
Libraries are one of the last places where you can just sit and work or study or read in a public space, and whenever I go to my local ones the tables are always filled with people of all ages doing just that.
