Maybe Lendle has changed the way that you personally obtain books but that doesn’t denote a worldwide library apocalypse.
First, Lendle is only availalbe in the U.S., so most of the world;s population doesn’t have access to this service.
Second, in order to just borrow books from Lendle: “You must own Kindle books and be willing to lend them. Lendle aims to be the fairest lending service available. To that end, we have implemented an algorithm that determines whether or not you’re allowed to borrow books. When you first join the site and add at least one book you own, you’ll be given two borrow requests. After that, the more books you add and the more books you lend, the more you’ll be able to borrow.”
At a public library there is no algorithm from who gets to borrow books or how many, anyone can borrow as many items as they like for no cost at all. One does not have to own a book in order to borrow more.

I agree that support for library funding erodes with each new means of conveniently and inexpensively accessing books.
