Agreed, that libraries are remaking themselves for modern times and have not relegated themselves to being obsolete with just books anymore.

A month or two ago I borrowed my libraries telescope (although the seeing was terrible that week so I ended up returning it unused but will try again) and right now I am burrowing a Kindle reader to see if I might want to get one of my own which of course leads into these libraries also subscribing to Overdrive where you can check out eBooks. Also don't forget to check out the audio CD section for great box sets if you ever wanted to check out a famous artist you might only be somewhat familiar with (e.g. Chuck Berry).
