How do libraries stay relevant?

The traditional role of libraries as the providers of books to users has been challenged in recent years with the increased market for e-Books.  As the director of Berkley Public Library, Donna Corbeil, rightfully said 'library spaces have moved far beyond the traditional hushed reading rooms ... we strive to be a central part of our community by meeting expectations and changing needs of the people we serve, embracing new technologies and innovating along the way'. 
In other words, we have to stay relevant to the needs of the communities we serve.  Librarians worldwide have come up with some pretty innovative ideas in their quest to stay relevant.  From hog-butchering demonstrations, dance classes,  virtual bowling alleys to name but a few - have a look and see!  Make no mistake - libraries are experiencing a paradigm shift.
