  2. The last choice in that section is titled "Links".
  3. If you click on "Links", you'll see an option for "Library".
  4. Clicking "Library" takes you to the book's entry in Worldcat.
  5. Logging into Worldcat allows you to see whether or not the book is available at a library you subscribe to.
  6. By selecting the book's ebook or audiobook format, you can check it out from your library via OverDrive (or whatever digital lending platform your library uses).
That's more hassle than having two tabs open on to Goodreads and one to overdrive.com and copying from GR and pasting to OD.
