I have two books currently checked out from the Oakland library, and I just returned a bunch of CD's that I had sitting in my car changer for a few weeks. Also my partner and I are going to the museum with free tickets courtesy of the library website.<p>I got my foot in the door of tech by going to a local "code self study" group that meets at another nearby library; met tons of awesome people who helped me figure out what I wanted to study and who I still message back and forth with about our individual problems and potential solutions.<p>Libraries are rad; if you have one in your city I highly recommend you check it out!
