I deal with this fairly regularly, for many of the same reasons. My solution has been to combine and convert the MP3 from the library into an M4B file with software that can recognize and create chapter marks based on the Overdrive chapters. Then read the audio book with something like Bound on iOS or Smart Audiobook Player on Android. Bound is free, Smart Audiobook Player has a limited but useful free version and a more full-featured paid version that I don't have access to because of the limitations of Amazon Fire devices.
There are certainly multiple software packages that will do the MP3 to M4B side, and I won't pretend to suggest one, except to say that using iTunes doesn't help. I personally use one that's no longer readily available or supported, but that works for me on a Windows machine.
When you're done, you can at least manually align yourself on a chapter boundary, and fast forward to the approximate place in the chapter. It works adequately for me, but not as well as full WhisperSync for Voice on Audible+Kindle.
