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.

I've never paid for a library card in my life, we're not full time yet so haven't gotten one yet. Aren't our tax dollars supposed to take care of this ?
