Google Chrome will begin to mark all HTTP sites as "not secure" starting in July 2018. This is just a warning displayed in the URL bar and won't stop users from loading the pages:
For the past several years, we've moved toward a more secure web by strongly advocating that sites adopt HTTPS encryption. And within the last year, we've also helped users understand that HTTP sites are not secure by gradually marking a larger subset of HTTP pages as "not secure". Beginning in July 2018 with the release of Chrome 68, Chrome will mark all HTTP sites as "not secure".

RLY.
In the case of a library they could hire an IT person or they could be open more frequently.
I'm also concerned about people in countries that don't permit encryption.

My Mom has that problem with her 2002 G4 iMac. Just about all the https sites she visit complain that the connection is insecure.
