People who'd go to a library during such a time are less likely to want to cause trouble. Not to mention the value of a books aren't very high. You could find a free copy of every library book online.

So other libraries are very likely to have copies or at least the national one is some countries have one. More rare or old books tend not to be stored on shelves.
