Is the old model of having local governments manage and fund libraries is coming to an end?

Michael McGrorty sent along an interesting Post From Genealogy and How where Steve writes:
“I certainly don’t want to see libraries turn to dust. But I think the old model of having local governments manage and fund libraries is coming to an end. Instead, I would like to see private organizations step up to create collections that they take an interest in. Historical societies already do this. How about helping our local churches do this too? How about helping local Chambers of Commerce create business libraries?

I would like to see our lawmakers create legislation that removes whatever roadblocks that make it difficult for these organizatiosn to do so.”
