The word "conspicuous" in the passage means "noticeable." It refers to the clear and obvious difference that the books present in comparison to what is typically found in other dwellings.
What does the word conspicuous mean in the following passage from The Giver?
"But the most conspicuous difference was the books. In his own dwelling, there were the necessary reference volumes that each household contained: a dictionary, and the thick community volume which contained descriptions of every office, factory, building, and committee. And the Book of Rules, of course."
