Almost all US lending libraries use OverDrive, so you can read the MOBI library books by a) using kindlepid to convert the Kindle's serial number to its PID, b) registering this PID with your library, and c) running kindlefix on the library MOBI ebook. Note that kindlefix does not strip DRM, the library ebook will still only work on your Kindle and no other device, so there are no copyright issues.

You will need to load Python to run kindlepid and kindlefix.
