Whether or not your New Year's resolution is to read more books, you can never go wrong by picking up that title or two that you just haven't gotten around to reading yet. The best part is, it doesn't even have to cost you any money!
Your local library is always a great to place to start. You can take out books, talk with a librarian and get great book recommendations, and have the physical book(s) in your hand. Also, many libraries offer services through Overdrive, which provides you with digital options for reading.
The links for the San Diego library's Overdrive page is:

Hoopla is another option offered by many libraries. Hoopla is a digital media service that allows you to borrow movies, music, audiobooks, comics, ebooks and TV shows you can enjoy on your computer, tablet, or phone.
