You can always use calibre to download the cover as part of the metadata and then update the cover in the epub. Adds perhaps 5 seconds to my fixup before moving the book from the intake library.
Otherwise, I have to agree with issybird. Quite a few library books I borrow also have a cover that is different from the cover on the library website and, for that matter, the cover shown on the publisher's website. The one occasion when I asked about this, one of the reasons given was reducing the size of the ebook making it take less space on the server and faster to download.
