The simplest method I found was to install Calibre along with the DeDRM plugin: github.com/apprenticeharper/DeDRM_tools/tree/master/DeDRM_calibre_plugin.

I don't like that I have to do this just to gain access to public library books on my Kindle but saw no other way to accomplish this.

General steps to install the DeDRM plugin

Download the latest tools package, and unzip it.
Run calibre. From the Preferences menu select “Change calibre behavior”.
Click on Plugins (under “Advanced”) — it looks like a jigsaw puzzle piece.
Click on the large “Load plugin from file” button
Navigate to the tools folder unzipped
Open the “DeDRM_calibre_plugin” folder
Select the DeDRM_plugin.zip file in that folder
Click on the “Add” (sometimes “Open”) button.
Click on the “Yes” button in the “Are you sure?” warning dialog that appears. A “Success” dialog will appear, saying that the plug-in has been installed. Click on “OK”.

Once installed I simply opened the ePUB files that I checked out & downloaded with Adobe Digital Edition, and then converted them from within Calibre (right click on any book and select "Convert Books -> Convert Individually" and select MOBI as the output format.

Once the book has been converted to MOBI you can use Calibre to transfer the resulting MOBI file to your Kindle via the "Devices" icon.
