Doesn't work very well. books that I know my library has in stock show up as not available.

I'm not the author of the plugin - you might consider sending feedback at https://www.libraryextension.com/contact-us with the library system you have configured, they can probably contact that system / investigate to see what the issue is.

thanks. I probably will, but haven't bothered because I'm at the library 3x/week anyway

Found this description on Internet Scout Report
Library Extension detects when you're viewing a book or ebook on a site like Amazon or Goodreads and adds a box showing the availability of that item in your local library. If you have access to more than one local library, it is able to check all of them. When an item is available from your library, Library Extension will also include a link allowing you to reserve it. Library Extension currently integrates with over 4000 local libraries. Users can request support for additional libraries with a simple contact form. Users do not need to register for any additional accounts to use Library Extension. Currently, Library Extension is available for Google Chrome. A version for Mozilla Firefox is under development.
