'If books will not be enough' means 'if more than simply books is going to be required'; there is nothing wrong with the construction; it is simply wrong here if the intended meaning is 'if there aren't enough books'.

"Shalln't" is considered archaic English and while technically grammatically correct, it is very odd. "Shan't" is considered a much better alternative.
