Did I misunderstand your problem?
I access my library through Overdrive. Press the centre button then "Get Books". The only libraries that will appear in the list are the ones where I have previously created an account.

(But I found that "Add a library" doesn't work very well. It doesn't find them. Better to go to the actual library's home page and add them from there.)

They are added here automatically when you create an account using the library's home page. I have 2 now, my city library and gutenberg.org.

Update:
I clicked on your link and got all excited thinking there was a big Ontario Library Download centre I could use, in addition to my local public library. But it turns out not to be for people in big cities like mine, only for people in smaller places that don't have their own ebook support system yet. This is not well explained on the site and I had to deduce it finally by thrashing around! I tried to email them feedback about this but you can only send feedback to your library, not about their site!
