As suggested before also go to B&N. There are just tons of awesome photography resources these days. Plus hit up photography forums online.
And don't forget to take an SLR with you whenever you can and just start shooting. I have been shooting for almost 20 years (for hobby & professionally) and after picking up the basics I learned the most by getting out there and experimenting... Good luck

Doing it and getting it right and wrong is the best lesson. But make lots of notes while you're shooting so you can review them later and decide what was right and what was wrong.
The first book you ned to learn from is the manual the camera came with.
