I just got a phone call from the head Librarian at the Lady Lake branch of Lake County Library. Her name is Marsha and she stated that they are getting a lot of phone calls about Sumter Country Library dropping Overdrive. They do not have a reciprocal agreement with Sumter County because they are just not up to par with the rest of the state. Since they have no agreement with Sumter County, to get a library card from Lake County it cost $40.00 per year for the whole household. That seems to me a good deal. I check the Free Library in Philadelphia and it costs $50.00.
Lady Lake Library was very friendly and wanted my business. They seemed to care, not like Sumter County.
