A role playing social simulation. Heavy japanese anime influence. Combat, events and item management as well as violent and romantic elements.

I believe that the previous roles of libraries aren't as relevant anymore. There is simply no competition between the amount of information available in a library as opposed to world wide web.
Libraries certainly have had to branch out what they offer in order to be utilised. Many now offer children's reading sessions, summer programs, computers, printing, movies, showd and classes on computer literacy and community outreach. 
And because of this they certainly aren't a waste of taxpayer money, now whether the money could be better spent on other welfare or social programs offered by the government or other institutions through transfers is a very difficult argument to tackle. As of now though, I'm of the opinion that libraries could possibly use a bit more funding for wider selections and accomodations.
