another is

PLURAL: other books (are)

others (are)

 
SINGULAR: the other book (is)

the other (is)

PLURAL: the other books (are)

Note that a final -s is used only for a plural pronoun (others). Another means one more in addition to the one(s) already mentioned. Other/others (without the) refer to several more in addition to the one(s) already mentioned. The other(s) has a different meaning (all that remains from a given number or specific group):

–I have three apartments. Two are mine. The other is yours.
