Can this type of "book" be read on my computer? Some Windows' version of a reader like there is a kindle-desktop application?
Is stripping the drm required if I wanted to read on my Kindle3?

The .ascm is a small download. Get the free Adobe Digital Editions for your PC, and when you open the .ascm file, ADE will download the rest of the book in an EPUB format to read inside ADE. Your library website probably has a link to ADe somewhere, but it's on the Adobe website.
And yes, reading that book on your Kindle would require stripping the DRM and converting it to MOBI format.
