99. The libraries are already there! So are the books! Libraries where I live are packed!
And I mean PACKED with adults and children all the time. So what if Google books has 7 million books scanned. I've never once read a book on Google books, but I do currently have 4 books checked out from our local library system. If you want to argue for phasing out libraries somewhere down the line, that's one thing, but to suggest that libraries are obsolete at this point is just plain WRONG.
