    It would be interesting if libraries also operated, say, cafes. Rules apply of course, but it might create a job and add something extra to a library.

      Near where I live, there is a library facility that has a cafe. However, it's not a regular book-lending library... it's run by the country library system, but it's actually a free coworking space. They even have a music room with 4 stringed instruments, a computer, and an electronic drum kit as well as a podcasting studio.
