The larger MQG I belong to have a nice library, I attended a different traditional guilds meeting and they have an extensive library. It covered 6-8 banquet tables with the books overlapping. My schedule means I cannot be sure I can return a book, so I do not take any out.
Even in these days of the internet, I believe there is a place for a guild library. Not everyone has good internet access or the skills to find what they need. I relax when I read a book, I do not relax when I read online.
Edited to add, we have a librarian, there is a fine ($5?) for not returning a book on time. Those funds are used to buy new books. There is a sign out procedure, members cannot just take a book. I do not know where the books are stored, the guild moved meeting halls, and I have not been able attend any meetings since the move.
