This chemistry textbook, written by Karen Timberlake who has authored many chemistry books and lab books, is available in the HCPL system. It is very easy to read and understand. It has many questions and problems to check your understanding and the odd answers are in the back of the book. This book is good as a review or to teach yourself chemistry.
