[文法] Can I check out the booksin this library?

[crazy1111 (crazy)]

Once I said the sentence below in a library......

"Can I check out the books in this library?"



Can this sentence be used to describe if it is possible for me to borrow the
books from this library? Or it just means that if I can stay in the library
to look for some books?

The points here are "check out" and "in".
If I want to know if I can borrow the books from the library, how should I
say?



Thanks.

→ ycjjen: it has a rare book section). Then, you
