I thought the local library's website was useless until I needed a specific repair manual
For years I ignored the 'digital resources' link on my town library's site, figuring it was just a few e-books. Last month I needed the service manual for a 2012 HP printer at work, and on a whim I checked there. They had a full subscription to a technical database I'd never heard of, ManualsLib. I found the exact 87-page PDF in about two minutes, no login required with my library card. It saved me a call to a vendor that would have cost the company at least $50. I've since found wiring diagrams and old appliance guides there too. What's the most surprising thing you've found through your local library's online tools?

Remember my buddy with the '92 pickup? He tried to find a part for his heater core. Spent two whole nights on forums and old PDFs, just digging through random diagrams. He finally found the right part number scribbled in some archived service bulletin. The relief on his face was something else.
