A Must-Have Chrome Extension for Any Book Lover – Library Extension
In a world of online shopping, it’s arguably more convenient to buy a book online from Amazon Prime than to swing by your local library. These days many of us opt for buying a book online even though most libraries offer the ability to search, reserve, or even download books online. We also come across books that are typically linked to online stores or sites like Goodreads.
Library Extension
Library Extension is a Chrome browser extension that automatically lets you know if a book you’re looking at online is available at your local library. You can place a hold on a book, or you can download any available ebook if your library uses Overdrive or 3M Digital Books.
Supported Sites
Library Extension works on a number of popular book sites including:
- amazon.com
- audible.com
- arbookfind.com
- barnesandnoble.com
- bookdepository.com
- goodreads.com
- books.google.com
