Why is it 'from the library'? It should be 'in the library'

Nevertheless, you question is valid, and can only be seen as " while it is available from the library " ..... meaning, I suppose, available from THAT library.

[Hoamuahe]

why do we use " while" here not since?

[Kitosdad]

Books are normally taken to one's home to be read. The book is available NOW. That is before someone else takes it home.

I think that "still" is a confusing word here. It gives a meaning like "if the book is still there"
I don't understand the function of "still" here

[Beeesneees]

That is the correct meaning Truert.

If the book is still there so that you can borrow it, then you should do so.

well
I understood the setence but I am still confused why
it's written "from" not "in"?

can we use "in" here?

[Beeesneees]

'in' could be substituted for 'from' in this sentence.

'From' is used because people take a book on loan from the library to home or work in order to read it.
