Hello,

This would be detailed in your HOA Bylaws as to how to conduct new elections for officers should one resign, or be unable to fulfill his/her duties. Typically the last remaining Board member can call a special election meeting so that owners can then cast votes for any candidate who wants to run for election. Another option that is common is for the last remaining Board member to essentially appoint the other members temporarily until a special election meeting is held.
.
As for the books, those belong to the HOA and if the other members have resigned, they have no legal standing to retain them at this point and would be obligated to surrender them to the remaining Board member.
.
The specific process for filling vacancies and special elections would be set out in your Bylaws, so that would be the place to start. If you don't have a copy of them, any officer should have them available.
