Library Extension is an excellent Chrome add-on to help you check whether your local library has a particular book you come across online. The way it works is very simple: Once you install it on your browser click on the book icon in the top right and set up your libraries. Next time you browse books on sites such as Amazon or Goodreads you will instantly get to see whether those titles are available in your chosen libraries or not. If they are you can borrow or place a hold on them with a single click. Library Extension is definitely a time saver.
