On trends.google.com I compared "libraries" (blue line) with "bookstores" (red line). Libraries are still winning, but it's getting close.

The lower graph shows the number of times those terms appear in Google News stories. Go libraries!

The library, by the way, was very active. There was also the obligatory Napping Older Guy at a table.
