My local library has a deal with them: connect to the library's website, enter your card number, and get bounced through a proxy to O'Reilly's site to read any content.

Perhaps check if your local library system as the same deal.

My local library for sure doesn't have access (it has around ~100 books available at any given time, and because of lack of funding/maintenance recently had to give away their computers).

Since you do have access, could you maybe share if you think it's worth paying for?

It has been handy for a few things, but given the finite hours in a day/week I tend to not read tech stuff in my off-hours, so haven't used it much in general. Most recently used it for some Postgres stuff and IPv6:
