Supplemental resources (especially books) are not necessarily in the Library, and might require that you obtain them through your local public or college library. You can search WorldCat.org to see if a library near you owns the book. Search for the book, then on the book summary page enter your ZIP code in the "Enter your location" box to see if any local libraries own the title.
