That's the Prime Reading library. They keep a thousand or so books at a time in the library and you can borrow up to 10 at a time if you are a Prime member. They do rotate the books in and out fairly regularly, but if you've borrowed a book and it's later rotated out of the program, it will still remain in your library until you "officially" return it. I think that's the case even if it's just in your archive but not actually on your device.
If you have Prime, you should get a weekly newsletter called Prime Insider (email subject line is "Your Prime Membership....". There's typically a bit in there on the library, either announcing new books being added, or listing books that are about to rotate out. That way, if you see something you want that's leaving the program, you can grab it before it goes.
It's a great benefit. I always have my 10 book limit checked out although it often takes me awhile to actually get to the books.
