I agree with Montana Harper that the most common case for getting multiple links for the same book to the same library is that different editions of the book are available. For example, OverDrive has multiple editions of Whose Body? available to libraries. It can be useful to know that you have a choice when some are checked out and others are still available.

Multiple links can sometimes also be caused by books with similar names being incorrectly matched by the plugin. If you notice books that are inappropriately linked you can bring them to my attention here and I'll try to improve the matching algorithm.
