ways to add sample library?

Basic setup question: I have a TR88 with the EXB-SMPL sampling board. (This is all I have.) I have never been satisfied with the piano sounds, so I am interested in adding a good grand piano sample library. What is the easiest and least expensive way to do this? Can I simply load a library through an SD card? Or do I need added hardware and software? I know nothing about this tech, so any recommendations would be most welcome, including info on a serious grand piano library. Thank you!

Thank you for responding! Okay, so how do I get started? I am guessing that you mean first that the sample library will be expensive (any recommendations?). But then does a serious library then require hardware and software (i.e. new computer and something like cubase or pro tools) and the investment of time to learn the software? Sounds like a lot when all I really want is a clean and rich grand sample without the silly added instrumentals of the TR. I usually adjust the resonance and intensity of the soft piano pad on the TR, but it just doesn't cut it.
