But if you add "how to find the information you want" and "how to take advantage of all the resources" to the functions of a community center, that may be the building you mean. Or maybe the books will gradually clear out (as they did at the undergraduate library of my alma mater, the University of Texas at Austin) and the other types of functions a city provides will migrate over to the "old library building," where librarians will still be serving people.
