Disenchanting an enchanted book at a grindstone yields a normal book and a small amount of experience (unless the enchanted book has a Curse of Binding or a Curse of Vanishing on it).
In Java Edition, librarian villagers throw books at players under the Hero of the Village effect.
Using the chiseled bookshelf while having a book in the main hand puts the book inside the chiseled bookshelf.
Books can be made into enchanted books by enchanting them on enchanting tables.
