If your library has ebooks as well as print (possibly via OverDrive) and you don't mind reading a book on a screen, that's a great way to take out the book without finding time to go in. Assuming your library has a website, it shouldn't be too hard to find. My library has, among other things, ebook/audiobook access, which is especially amazing if you're traveling--so long as my card is active, I can take out online media from pretty much anywhere I have an internet connection. You also don't need an ereader to read what you take out: there's an app (if it's OverDrive, which does seem to be in America as well as Canada), and you can also just read in your internet browser. So if you think that's for you, I recommend checking to see if your library has the option and then if they have the book to begin with.
Alternatively, you can put the book on hold and then only have to find time to go to the library to pick it up. While libraries are awesome places and I certainly recommend spending time in them, (they can even be good places to do homework!) if your time is very limited (or feels very limited), that's a way around it. Holds can also, in my experience, be picked up by someone else so long as they have your card with them, so if you've got a family member who's going anyway (or is out for other things and doesn't mind another stop), you could ask them to pick up a hold.
And, of course, you can check your school library! Even if they don't have it, they may get it if you show up with interest in reading it...and school librarians are usually great people to know, so it's win-win :)
Really, though, don't feel pressured. Give school attention if it needs it, try to find a balance between academic life and personal life (believe me, you *need* that, unless all your hobbies are super academic and you have no trouble fitting in some time for friends/family/yourself already), and, well, good luck getting used to the new level of school. It'll happen.
And now I'm going to finish waking up and wonder when I started giving unsolicited student life advice within ten minutes of getting out of bed...which is not to say I think it's bad advice; I'm just a little surprised I ended up giving it while still yawning. Oh well. Hope it's useful, or at least not unhelpful?
