Getting their book from the local library does many amazing things: - helps support the author - makes the book accessible regardless of financial means - shows the library there’s demand, encouraging them to get more copies - helps spread word-of-mouth for the book - keeps the book in circulation
Every writer I know, and for my sins I know a lot of them, is absolutely 100% delighted for you to get their book out from your local library.
