I got a star trek book for my birthday, it was the one that features all the ships. I was reading about Enterprise when I was suprised to read that the NX-02 was found abandoned in the gamma quadrant. The weird part is that it was the solar system visited by DS9 when they entered the Bojarn wormhole. Apparently NX-02 entered that wormhole and for some reason crashed landed on a planet. How is that even possible? Where did the crew go? Is there any book out there on this?
I never knew... (Spoilers for the Destiny Trilogy)

Re: I never knew
As Captain M stated, this is answered in the Star Trek: Destiny trilogy of novels. Alternatively, you could visit Memory Beta if you want to spoil yourself and just find the answers specifically. I'd recommend them, though, as they're good books IMO save for a few certain parts.

Re: I never knew
Actually this really is a Trek Lit topic since what you are discussing is something from a book.
I have also added "Spoiler" to your title.
Moving now... hang on to your hats.

It sounds like you got the Ships of the Line book, collecting images from several of the annual SotL calendars. The way the calendars work is that the artists are free to create whatever scenes they want involving Trek-universe spacecraft, whether they happened onscreen or not. When they were collected in the book, brief descriptive paragraphs of the stories behind them were added. The image you're referring to was created out of the imagination of artist Pierre Drolet, presumably just because he thought it would be cool to do a picture of 24th-century Starfleet personnel discovering the wreck of Columbia. And for the book, Michael Okuda added the paragraph about it being mysteriously found on a planet in the Gamma Quadrant. This image and description captured the imaginations of readers, so Margaret Clark, who edited the calendars as well as many of the novels, asked novelist David Mack to use it as a starting point for his trilogy, Destiny. So Dave came up with an explanation for that mystery, which you can find by reading Destiny.
^Does your local library carry Trek novels?
My library has about 5 Trek books as well. But since money is problem for me too considering my huge reading list, I just use inter-library loans. You could just go to your library and ask them to borrow any book from another library in your state or neighboring states. All you have to pay is 2 or 3 bucks shipping. I've read several hundred books by doing this that I could never have afforded to buy.
If the library has branches in several different cities, like the county library here, than a loan between brancehs is also a loan between libraries in different cities.
