@Min929499 well, it means the same thing. However, it’s not the natural way that we speak.
Este es el libro de la biblioteca.
This is the book of the library.
That sentence, in English, sounds rather natural, however, more often than not, we say “The library’s book.”
Using the word “of” to show possession sounds a little weird in English a lot of times. Not EVERY time, but a lot of times. It’s better to always go with the (‘s) form.
The piano of him. -That sounds very weird.
The piano of John. -This sounds weird as well.
His piano. -Perfect.
John’s piano. -Perfect.

This is mine.
This is yours.
This is his/hers.
This is ours.
This is theirs.
