Assuming New York County and Otsego County work alike, this is not a "book" at all, and hence not in any library. Rather it is a reference to the series of manuscript volumes officially recording deeds in New York County, kept wherever New York County official records are kept. Liber A means, in effect, Volume 1, and 69 would be the page number. Unless somebody has transcribed and published these records, you would have to go to the original in New York City to see it.
