Students are responsible for buying their own required textbooks as the library does not automatically purchase course texts.
The library may own a copy of a textbook, but it is still subject to the same policies as every other book. Once another student places a hold on it, it cannot be renewed, so one student cannot keep it for the whole semester.
The library may have an eBook copy of your textbook, but be sure to check what type of eBook it is. Some eBooks are one user, meaning that only one person can use it at a time.
You can check library options for your textbooks, and then decide how you would like to go about acquiring them.
