from the say-it-aint-so dept. Anonymous Patron writes "According to a report by Libri, the UK's non-profit that promotes libraries, UK libraries will be out of use by 2020.

The organization based this figure on a survey that shows that visitor numbers have decreased by 50 percent since 1984 and if patron numbers continue to decrease, UK libraries will no longer exist in next 20 years.
