This is the most magical piece of technology for library lovers out there—a FREE browser extension that checks to see whether a book you are perusing online is available via your library as a hard copy, ebook, or audiobook called Library Extension. And it works for multiple libraries at one time in case you have borrowing privileges at more than one library!
You simply install the extension on your browser & select your library (or libraries) from a list. Anytime thereafter that you view a book on a major book site (e.g., Amazon, Goodreads, Audible, Barnes & Noble, etc.), the extension will show you whether your library has it in their collection, in what format, & whether it’s available (or there’s a waitlist)! With a touch of a button, you can then snag the book from your library.
Note: This extension includes libraries around the world, but if your library isn’t there, just send a message to Library Extension Support. I asked for an obscure library to be added & it was done quickly.
Check out the video I put together to show you how Library Extension works:
