Sorry buddy, kindle only works with mobi books. Most libraries only carry epub. There is no way you can get library books to your kindle.
Actually, there are libraries that carry the mobibook format. With those, read Tip #3 at http://kindletips.slickferret.com/ to find out how to get them on your Kindle and read them without breaking the DRM!

I use my iTouch and iPad with the Kindle app. I have other eReader apps (OverDrive) that are compatible with my libraries eBooks. I think this is what Kindle will use?
If it like what I currently use - you can't just go get the book you want immediately. There are a limited number of "copies" available. You put your name on the list for when that title is available. Then you can download it when it is. It is on your device for a limited amount of time before it expires (plenty of time to get it read).
If the book is not a currently popular book, you may not have to wait at all, but if it is a best seller - plan on waiting a while for it.
