You are using "library" as an attribute of "book", as though it was an adjective. To use a noun as an attribute of another noun in Irish, you use the genitive of the attributive noun.
Your foclóir Gaeilge will tell you that leabharlainne is the genitive of leabharlann, so that the Irish for "a library book" is leabhar leabharlainne.
