Yes, once you have the mobideDRM plugin downloaded and working in Calibre (and have your Mobipocket PID registered at the library) you can download Mobipocket library books, import them into Calibre, and they will work on the Kindle with no further manipulation or format change. Keep in mind though, that when you strip the DRM the book will no longer expire (the original file will, but the copy you made when you imported it into Calibre won't) so it won't automatically quit working at the end of the check-out period. If you want to avoid "pirating" a library book, you'll have to delete it manually!
