but nobody goes there.

Yes. You're implying libraries need to be full of people reading books all the time, when their main purpose is to store them.

Ah I see, then indeed we disagree about the point of a library. You see it as storage, I see it as a place for object, I see it as a place for people to meet, with the "excuse" o objects or via objects (e.g. books).
