I do use the library--both the university library and the public library. Our library in town is not one of those old, dusty, musty affairs; they have a lot of new books. Every week they get in new stuff, and on all topics, plus they have subscriptions to every magazine imaginable. The university library provides me with access to various journals and newspapers from around the world. My university offers access to community members; all you have to do is ask at the circulation desk about getting a community member card.
Generally, I just read a lot. I read three newspapers a day via the Internet--the local paper, the statewide paper, and the New York Times. I read magazines, all kinds, whatever I can get my hands on. I read books, especially historical novels. Sometimes I get on Wikipedia and read and read and read, just clicking on link after link. I can literally get lost on Wikipedia for hours. I always double check the quality of the article I'm reading, though.
As for television shows--I usually use them as a jumping off point for more reading!
