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?

Wait, does that database have stuff for older cars too?
