You could also ise a library. The ones I have used are free or almost free
If they have what you need, it's indeed a great option. Many of them lend eBooks too, nowadays.
Unfortunately, living in a French speaking area, my local library network doesn't carry a lot of English material, so the selection is very limited. I've found it to be problematic especially for non-fiction, which often doesn't have translations available. Otherwise, libraries are great.
Teenage me would be ashamed to see I barely read any books anymore. I used to read two large novels a week, now it's more like one or two a year...
You can usually ask for more time with a book if that is a real deal breaker. That has been an option at libraries I've used anyway. Sometimes they can get books they don't have if you request them too. Some even mail them to your house. I'm not really trying to convince you or anything I just think libraries are awesome haha.
