Do a google search for apprentice alf's blog for a bit more info, but as HarryT says, you have to strip the DRM from the book to be able to read it on the Kindle. Also, before you even get to that stage, you need to download the required Adobe software from the library website, and use it to get the epub or pdf file from the actual file you download from the library.
It'd be far better to get another e-reader suited to the task you want to use it for.

I agree. My main concern is that, while I'm sure most of us would agree that there's no problem with removing DRM from books that you've bought (and it's perfectly legal to do that in the UK), it's a whole different ball-game to strip DRM from library books. They are not your property and effectively by doing this you're stealing books from the library.
So yes, if library borrowing is your main reason for having a bookreader, get one which officially supports it, such as the Sony T1.
