I wish there was a common way, but no the libraries all have their own way of working.
It is hard to know exactly what you want or mean by syncing but check out two existing plugins :
Overdrive link see
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=187919
This supports more than just overdrive/libby (about 14 sources, but not borrowbox) but is more about searching those sources than syncing with your account.
OverDrive/Libby see
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=354816
This only deals with overdrive/libby. It requires you to connect your account and will show you the books you have on loan and on hold and it allows you return them and also to search for other books and borrow them or place them on hold.
The two plugins are complementarily and I use both.
Apologies if I have missed any others.
Disclaimer, overdrive/libby was originally written by ping/modified (who did more than 99% of the work), but is now maintained by me.
