That is how overdrive works at my library. They are part of a 3 or 4 library group, but not all books show up under my library. The librarian can then check to see if another library in the group has it (and it's cheaper to 'add' it to our library if they do). Or they can order it or I can join the other libraries (Get a card and borrow directly from them via overdrive). It's probably way more complicated than it needs to be!
