Libraries are physical media. If you get public access to a newspaper, then one person can read it at a time. You also create a barrier for people to have to drive to a library, which might be closed, hope that nobody else checked out the thing, etc.

It's not at all a solution.

Tell me you haven't actually been to a library in the last 15 years without telling me.

Have you not heard of Libby? Of Overdrive? Next thing you're gonna be telling me Libraries aren't a solution because not everyone can use microfiche...
