Browsing in Public Libraries

I was interested in this Dutch experiment in making libraries user friendly.  Things like soft furnishings, coffee and so on are widely used in libraries now, not least in Wembley Library.  However this is the first time I have seen a public library abandoning the Dewey Decimal system, which I think many users find hard to understand.  As bookshops become less common, perhaps libraries could find a role as areas for physically browsing books.
