I&#x27;ve struggled to find a good public library here. I&#x27;ve been able to find every book I was looking for at the British Library, but you have to request each book and can only read it there.<p>Having said that, the books I was reading there were mostly general programming books. I don&#x27;t know if they have more specific technical books.<p>The British Library also has some scary note on their website about how you need to demonstrate why you need access. But that&#x27;s not worth worrying about. I just went there and signed up, nobody asked me to justify why I want to read books there.
