I'm sure the bookstores would appreciate it if you would use your local
library. Most libraries have a network from which they can get (almost)
any title you might want to look at.

On the other hand, if the book is really that useful you could save
yourself some time by buying a copy for yourself (or your neighborhood).

Barnes and Nobel have huge swaths of very comfortable chairs to sit and read
anything in the store. As long as people don't put suntan oil on their hands
then handle books, what's the diff? If I counted on MY library to have these
books I'd never know anything. I do, however, buy a lot of books. Occasionally
I sit in the store while my husband looks around and I browse the books I'd
never buy.
