Usually temporary copies. Meaning recording your reading in library is no-go but there could be exceptions to this too in the case of rare or delicate books.
EU law is usually very open to interpretation but it is quite clear in our topic for once.

Thanks. UK law also allows copying for academic study - it's one of the three permitted exemptions in the "Fair Dealing" clause of the law.
