Thank you for the tip. The partnership is called "O'Reilly for Public Libraries". I just logged onto the full O’Reilly Learning platform through my San Francisco public library account.
The price from O'Reilly is 50/month or 500/year.

I also remember that I was not able to retain the access to the Live training recordings I had from the ACM membership when I bought a paid O'Reilly membership. Only after writing to the customer service they agreed to link a "reasonable amount" (maybe 15 sessions as far as I remember) of live training recordings to my new account. Felt like a scam.
Earlier quoted context omitted.

Its why they shut down. TO much piracy. All the Oreilly ebooks I purchased had no DRM and I purchased a lot. Was a VIP customer - but maybe it was widely handed out - I do not know.
