Books, the apple provided app, has hidden many books

Many of my books are missing from the library on my iPAD MINI 2. The application on my desktop doesn't show them all either. I read these books but they are nowhere to be found .

Is there someplace in the system files I can search such as a Books library (system file not the iPad)

It seems that books not purchased from Apple have been removed in a recent system upgrade

iPad mini, iOS 12

Down loading e books I cannot download e books on my new iPad while I can in my old iPad Air. While trying downloading it is not giving options to choose the overdrive,Bluefire reader or adobe. Then it gives a message “ PKC12 “ on a. bluefire doc generated. Then also book I download in my old iPad does not appear in the bluefire. If my new iPad is not compatible to these apps , is there an Apple app where I can down load the books from library?
