Should libraries focus on preserving physical books, on the experience of reading originals (or physical copies of them)? Or on enabling customers to improve the model of the LLM used? Or even on creating own ones?
Is there even a future role for them, outside of physical backups?

I assume very few people go to the library currently to read a summary, why would this change in the future?
The premise of all your questions assume others agree with you that books will be replaced.
The web has been "replacing" books for a long time. Books still exist.
I think LLMs will make knowledge in older books much more accessible via modernization and reinterpretations of now-Copyright-free stories from the past.
