I’ll second the recommendation for Book Burro. It lets you configure it by picking a zip code, so that when you’re traveling in the US you can relocate your search to the nearest library to where you are. Book Burro works inside Google Book Search as well.
Amazon works in the other way with libraries, too - I’ll often forward a book that Amazon suggests that I buy to my library’s “suggest an addition to our collection” inbox.
Note that LibraryThing also has a “find in a library” configuration that you can add to the book lookup page in parallel with its bookstore search.
