My answer is "Maybe Yes, Eventually" -- BUT -- 1) I don't think it's likely for libraries and librarians to disappear soon ... people has been saying this since 40 years ago, but today there are still many libraries and librarian positions ... 2) As far as I know, librarians are still relatively better paid than many other jobs humanities major students can get. 3) Some MLIS programs also offer very "inclusive" entry-level IT and data analytics education too (by inclusive, I mean they won't ask you for a BS in computer science or equivalent).
