Nothing to dowith right or wrong but why go to the trouble of borrowing a library book just to justify dow nloading it. Seems a tad convoluted.

If I go to the library and borrow a book then I just read it. After all some other patron may be waiting for that book and I am not reading it.

Just my personal opinion, but many people could soon be saying "I could borrow this book from the library so I should be able to download it" Or "why delete it, my wife wants to read it next" or "my buddy has this book so I could borrow it from him"

Downloading intellectual property from a source not approved by the intellectual property owner is the same thing whether you own the book in paper form, borrow it from a friend or library or just want to read it free.

I am not saying don't do it, just don't make excuses to justify it. If you want to be sure it is okay call up the author and/or publisher and get their permission.
