Do you need to go to the bookshop or the library? Make sure you go to the right place. You see, you buy books in a bookshop and you borrow books from a library. In other words, a bookshop sells books and a library lends books to you. Do you understand the difference?
Borrow means to take something from somebody temporarily, and lend means to give somebody something or give something to somebody temporarily. So books from a library have to be returned.
It's also important to know that we use from to show where something originates, and we use to for the destination. The library is the origin and the people are the destination. So the books that are taken from a library are given to people. Sounds obvious, doesn't it?
