What does this Members Library entail? Is it separate from the normal ebook library in some way? Is this basically saying they are getting rid of all their ebooks?

They announced a while ago that they were getting out of the "distributed books as files" (aka buying ebooks and getting the files on members.oreilly.com) game, and doubling down on the "subscription service to consume books online" game (aka Safari). This is just another step in that process. See https://www.thebookseller.com/futurebook/why-oreilly-media-n... for the original announcement.
