Once you have the .acsm file you can double click it to open it in Adobe Digital Dimensions which will download the book from wherever. After that finishes, in Adobe Digital Dimensions click on the File menu and select Show in Explorer; on my Windows PC that opens the folder C:\Users\hobnail\Documents\My Digital Editions or in the Explorer under Quick Access it's in Documents (My Digital Editions).

Find the book in that and drag it into Calibre and if you have the Apprentice Alf plugin installed it will remove the DRM. Of course you should never remove the DRM from library books but I don't want to hassle with Overdrive on my ereader and I would never "share" books with others.
