@Teri_Kanefield I really like Library Extension. I go to Amazon, look up the book, and Library Extension tells me my local library has it and provides a button so I can place a hold. Saves me a lot of money — and some time as well.
Look forward to reading the book.

Well, now that you mention, I've been loading up my ebook reader with free ebooks from StandardEbooks.org and Gutenberg.org.
I download them, import them into Calibre (https://calibre-ebook.com), where I can easily convert the format to match the one my device uses, edit metadata (I just downloaded a book by Ring Lardner & metadata said "Author Unknown" — easy fix), and export to my device.

@Leisureguy @Teri_Kanefield I love it! I'm emphatically not an Amazon user, but I tried it out on a Barnes & Noble book page, and it works great!
In addition to choosing my local library, it prompted me to add Libro.fm, Hoopla, and Scribd as libraries it should check for availability.
I like that it considers Scribd and Libro.fm in both capacities, telling me about (other) library availability of a book I look up there.
Oddly, I have never used Safari. Firefox, then Chrome, then Opera, and now Vivaldi.
Safari's on my computer (I use an Apple Macbook), but whenever I've tried to use it, it seems very awkward.
I have no idea whether it's open source or not.
