Liesel is indeed the book thief. Liesel befriends Rudy Steiner, her neighbor at her foster house. She can barely read or write, but her foster father, Hans Hubermann, teachers her how to.
Now, let's talk more about Liesel's book thievery.
In Part 2 of The Book Thief, there is a huge book burning in celebration of Hitler's birthday.
Here's an actual photograph of German book burnings.

Liesel Meminger stole The Shoulder Shrug from the book burning that day.
Just as she realized, the mayor's wife, Frau Hermann, saw Liesel steal the blue book from the fire.
Liesel hides the book under her shirt just to be safe.
When Papa and Liesel leave the book burning site, Papa asks Liesel what is wrong. Liesel said nothing was wrong, when really:
"Quite a few things, however, were most definitely wrong:
Smoke was rising out of Liesel's collar.
A necklace of sweat had formed around her throat.
Beneath her shirt, a book was eating her up"(122).
In Part 3, when Liesel goes to the mayor's house to collect their washings, she meets Ilsa, the one that saw her steal the book.
Liesel thought:
"She's going to take me inside, light the fireplace, and throw me in, books and all. Or she'll lock me in the basement without any food"(133).
But Ilsa actually let Liesel into her library and explore the books before she left with the washings.
And lastly, here is a short video on Part 2 of The Book Thief...
