It's more like they will miss fully having to rely on the library and their family owning a collection of encyclopedia because no internet.
There are still libraries that haven't computerized their catalog yet? I'm not sure I believe that.
(To be clear, I'm saying kids won't get the experience of specifically flipping through paper cards to find books, not the experience of using the library in general.)
The last time I used it, my local library had both.
I remember my family having an outdated encyclopedia because my aunt, a librarian, would hand off the old copy the library was trying to get rid of. I don't think I looked at them more than a few times, and even then it was only vaguely useful. Good riddance, online reference material is so much better.
The card catalog at the library.
Those still exist at this time.
