Do you have to own the books? Several, at least, state museum associations
have lending libraries which members can use. In our case, the only cost
is return postage. Visit our web page at museumpa.pall.org; the lending
library catalog is in the "resources" section for a sampling. Many people
borrow books before deciding to purchase them.
I use ILL to look at books before deciding whether to invest in them for
our lending library. The library at the state agency we work with is great
about getting stuff; my SO uses ILL through the local library to get stuff
for his dissertation. All the sites people have cited can help you
identify books which might be of interest.

<< As an entry-level museum employee, I want to learn more about museums,
but can't afford the books I've found on-line. My local library and
nearby university library have been only somewhat helpful. Can anyone
recommend other sources of free or inexpensive books on museums? Or can
anyone recommend books that are particularly valuable? I am primarily
interested in education/programming, exhibit development, and direction
on how to make myself more valuable to a museum. >>
