Get AirPort or Airport Extreme card and have breakfast in Panera stores. All their stores have free WiFi and they are in all major cities. Alternatively you could sign-up for T-Mobile WiFi for 30 USD/month for unlimited access in all Borders Bookstores, Starbucks Coffee shops and few other places.

You shouldn't need a password if it's a public place. Most times you need a password are your own network sometimes and if you're at an office with a closed wireless. But for a library, you should be able to just tap in... make sure you look for weirdos before you do any parking though. ;-)

When I wasn't successful I thought the slot might have gotten warped from all the heat generated and needed to cool down, to contract. Just before I got your OS X methods I did a shut down, waited for a while then restarted with the eject key held down and out it came. Whew! Thanks to you and all the others that responded.
