There is no charge for use of libraries in Sumter County.
I was surprised too when I heard this. Here is more information;

Our Libraries | Lsslibraries

Whoops. Tal already posted the link. Anyway, this section shows how many library system this subcontractor runs in the U.S.

More and more people are reading E books. I like the ones with pages that really turn, but I can't even GIVE my books to friends anymore. I am behind the times. Times, they are a changin'.
