Not really, libraries loaning out books is entirely legal. It would be more like file-sharing if a library received one copy, printed up millions of copies and then made them freely available for the taking. All it takes is one file-sharer to post one copy of a book on the web and then bam, it’s available anywhere and everywhere at no charge.
