library books
Checked-out volumes
Library books are books borrowed from a library rather than owned personally.
The phrase distinguishes temporary possessions from one's own collection: I need to return my library books before they're overdue.
Library books typically have due dates, late fees, and identifying marks like stamps or barcodes.
