For sure, even if you *don't* need the wxPython book, check into
the inter-library or inter-branch transfer program.  And, also ask
about Internet access.  Here in Sacramento, California, USA, when I
need a book, my first action is to go to http://saclibrary.org/ and
do a search.  If the book is not at my local (small) branch library
but is in the Sacramento county library system, I click on request
and tell them which branch to deliver it to.  I believe that they
have a truck that is constantly traveling between branches to
deliver the inter-branch transfers.  It's a super system.

I visited the libraries in Vancouver, B.C. and Victoria, B.C.
several years ago, and they were at least as advanced as ours here. 
Be sure to check that out.  Wherever you are in Canada, be sure to
check into it.

By the way, my librarian tells me that they do this because it both
saves them money (by not having to have copies at all branches) and
enables them to afford to offer more titles.

(Sorry for off-topic post.  I'm a library "true believer".)
