Have you explored your local library lately? I am a huge fan of public libraries... they are an important community resource beyond loaning books and I encourage you to stop by yours or go to their website to see what you have been missing. Try virtual Tai Chi classes sponsored by Indiana public libraries here.
Want to expand your personal library? I recommend BookShop.org, an online bookseller that gives back to the small local bookstore of your choice if you are not wanting to shop in person.
Here is an ever-evolving list of books I consider "keepers". Ones that are dogeared, annotated, and well-loved, meriting space on my bookshelves.
