So my friend owns Volo's Guide to Monsters but I do not. If I wrote down the information I needed for a race into a notebook, could I play as that race even though I don't own the book? Or do I have to own the book in order to play a race out of it?
This is specifically for Adventures League. I didn't see any rules saying I needed to own the resource. However, I would like to know for sure.
As long as your copied information is correct (AL DMs don't want you increasing the wrong ability scores or forgetting darkvision etc.), I think you can use it.

Devious serpent folk devoid of compassion, yuan-ti manipulate other creatures by arousing their doubts, evoking their fears, and elevating and crushing their hopes. From remote temples in jungles, swamps, and deserts, the yuan-ti plot to supplant and dominate all other races and to make themselves gods.
It doesn't really matter if you don't have it as long as the DM does.

Yes, you can play a race from Volo's even if you don't have the book. If a question about that race comes up at the table, odds are that someone at the table will have a copy of Volo's handy that you (or the DM) can consult. If no one does, well, make sure you're info from Volo's is accurate.

I'd guess that you wouldn't be allowed to do that, but I don't actually know.
