Check your contracts with the publisher of your book.

Can you link to an example of such a contract? And besides, I thought the First Sale Doctrine meant that no matter what your contract said, once the book was sold that the copyright holder didn't have any say over that copy of it anymore.

I’ve always wondered about this. In need to do some Googling, unless someone knows the answer.

Are libraries entitled to loan any book on the market? Do they need permission? Do they ever provide compensation?

My understanding is the answers are yes, no, and nothing besides the normal purchase price of the book.
