One public library's attempt to find "a silver bullet to ensure their future"...
 
"If any session yesterday illustrated the palpable hunger public librarians have for change—and, perhaps, a silver bullet to ensure their future—it was the packed session featuring a crew from the Rangeview Library District, Adams County, CO, propagators of the brand they call Anythink."

And here's the "Anythink" web site:

Not sure it's the kind of change that will preserve the future of libraries (some of it seems sorta like wrapping old library functions in shiny new wrapping paper), but at least it's change.
