Well, some people would prefer to be serviced by a human. Besides, aqcuiring (or even hiring) a robot might be too expensive. After all, I assume Marten is pretty cheap labour.

They'd get a super shelving bot like the one from the last episode of Ghost in the Shell: SAC, but they tend to get OCD about browsers and the college is unwilling to exclude people from the stacks. But really, don't think too hard about how any of them have normal jobs IN A WORLD where human size gynoids can be had on a WoW nerd's web developing salary, A WORLD where the singularity has occurred, A WORLD with children raised in space stations, defense satellites in chatrooms, and little robots who stuff themselves with cake batter.
Daniel Patrick Moynihan:
Clearly Marten would have been replaced by a fridge on a zip line in the Smif library if Jeph made any effort to keep his world logical and consistent.
