I can't agree with this more. I have a library walking distance that has two different interlibrary loan systems that can get books from local universities and other libraries. Both are free. There are three different public library systems within a 10 minute drive. Even if I want to buy a book, I almost always get it from the library first. And while wikipedia and other websites are great sources of information, they are generally not as good as a textbook specifically written for a subject.
