internet archive (or google lol)

internet archive has a LOT of free ebooks/PDFs, especially public domain but also just lots of older things, even textbooks and picture books. amazing resource i would go thru any libraries you can access first (for ethical/support yr library reasons) - most libraries have a form or you can go to the front desk to request a book be added to the collections. this works for ebooks too! it’s not a guarantee, but sometimes they say yes if all else fails, you can also just google “[book name] PDF” and if it’s an older or popular title it will probably be online lol. and if you have ibooks you can then export the pdf to ibooks

online journal databases

jstor is really great for finding published articles/journals that have critical analysis of literature, i think it's a paid subscription though. otherwise u can find loads of great pieces for free on google scholar!!

Free books

You don’t need to buy every book you read! Go to the library, download an ebook, find a PDF, create a personal JSTOR account. You’ll be surprised how much out there is free for the taking :)
