How to download a book in Books on ipad under 16.3.1

Running iOS 16.3.1 on 6th get. iPad mini. This upgrade changed BOOKS in a significant manner and I miss my menu bar at the bottom, but in particular I find no way to download a book with this iteration. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you. It ended up being a simple fix but not being a BOOKS user I was very unfamiliar with the interface. After a bit of navigating I found that I had to CLOSE the book she was reading (X in the upper right corner) in order to return to the LIBRARY. Once in the library a MENU icon was presented (in the upper left corner) which dropped down an extensive menu, which is actually much more comprehensive than the previous iteration.
