the only disease i'd be happy to contract.

I would say you're not necessarily going to get access to everything that's out there through google scholar. libraries can give you access to certain databases they subscribe to, or work with you through ILL or some other method to get your hands on an article that you may not otherwise have access to. also, don't forget about the digital divide. there seems to be this attitude more and more lately of "I have access to what I need, so everyone must have access to what they need too." lots of people - regardless of what's available online - are still dependent on libraries for help. and to go even further, it's not as though librarians are only helping people find research information. they are a community hub. they could be giving someone directions to somewhere local, offering tech help to someone else, helping a high school student figure out how to apply to colleges, and so on.
