There are times it is faster to look something up in a library than to look it up online.

It really depends on how optimized what you're looking for is placed in whatever search engine you're using.

If you were say, wanting to write an article on mustaches and were looking for the first person to launch into space with a mustache; it would be much faster to find that out in a book than online.

The online search terms will be loaded with information about Chris Hadfield if you try to look up mustaches in space.

The first soviet to launch into space with a mustache was on a military mission; so he doesn't come up much at all online, much easier to find this in a chronological ordered book of soviet space missions.

The fact that books are arranged in a away to make facts easy to find keeps them relevant even in the internet age. They also aren't prone to hidden keyword spam bringing you to places that don't have what you seek.
