DC Public Library
Most communities have a public library system you can use to get books, read newspapers and magazines, and do research.
The DC Public Library is a particularly robust system. You can get a library card if you work or live in Washington, DC or one of a number of counties in Maryland and Virginia.
They have free access to some of the resources that you may have used at Georgetown including:

The Library Associates are a special group of friends of the Library. They hold a number of events throughout the year.
At the $300/year sustainer level you can receive borrowing privileges to the library through the Library Associates program.
