You can do this in most university libraries, but you will most likely need a university ID to use the computers. Most universities don’t check ID’s to enter. I should know; I’ve worked in a few.
can anyone just go into a university library and read books without being a student there?

Years ago you could go to any library — but things have changed.
It depends on the school. At many universities you need an ID to get in. But even at those schools, you might be able to get in by asking for permission.

Yes as long as it is a public university

Depends. Some universities, you have to be above a certain age (like my school). During certain hours, you need to be a student and have a student ID, like when the library is opened really late at night.

No you may not. All Universities now have strict security and a valid student card is required to gain access. These resources are very expensive and are limited so need to be retained for students studying not joe bloggs of the street.
If you require a specialist book and live in the UK you can order it from the British library through you local library for a small fee. But being honest , I just finished at the University of Leeds, most libraries now are full of older out of date books because with the advent of the internet it is better to access up to date journal resourses for most subjects and many books are out of date by the time they appear in print anyhow.
Hope this helps
