Have you been to the new library? I have. Waaaaaay overhyped.
What else are libraries being used for other than borrowing books and providing internet for those who can’t afford it (yet somehow all have better cell phones than i have)?

You're being a tad hyperbolic. I mean like it's been featured in architectural publications and the New York Times travel section. I didn't imply it's in the same league as the places you mentioned, but it's bringing positive attention to the city.
The Central Library has interactive and educational exhibits. There are games and multimedia materials. There are meeting spaces and theatres for conferences and performances. There is art by local artists. If you've really visited you'd know that.
