How do you feel about the automation of the local public library?

For a while now it has been possible to reserve books online from distant branches of the county library system, to be delivered to the local branch. It has also been possible to renew them online. Those are features that I appreciate and have made frequent use of.

Lately automation has been introduced inside the library. If I run out of renewals, I can use the computer to check the book in and take it out again, provided that nobody else has requested it. I can also pick up a book that I reserved from the reservation shelf and automatically check it out along with other books.

I kind of miss the interaction with a librarian. There is something unnerving about having everything automated. At some future date there will probably be robots that reshelve books. Does anyone else feel uneasy about this or is it just me? I would be particularly interested in the opinion of our resident librarian.
