Surely in the 24th century most publications can be read online on the
subspace
Imperial Information Net (if you have the requisite security access, that
is).
I'd imagine that what libraries there are would be more in the nature of
archives {tamey ngo'} or special collections, housing ancient manuscripts
{ghItlhmey tIQ} and rare books {paqmey qub}. If so, it's extremely unlikely
you could just take something off the shelf, or out of the vault, and walk out
the door with it.
But then, that may just be me. IRL I'm a rare books cataloger at the
University of Chicago Library.
