Give 'em some time
When I moved here Sumter County was the poorest county in the state. The closest Sumter County library was in a mildewed (Sp?), concrete block, crowded building in Wildwood that has been replaced. Since then the developer built and donated the building on 466 to the county. It takes time and a lot of money to get a library up to speed.
Got news for you folks! you may live in a fantastic place, The Villages, but you still live in rural Sumter County. If the lack of a first class library is your only complaint, consider yourself fortunate.
This is the first place I have lived that didn't have a top notch library ( some of those places have since had major cutbacks ) but the trade off is well worth it.
For those of you who feel there is a need of improvement, I am sure if you volunteer your time and talents it will be greatly appreciated.
BTW, I believe both Ocala and Leesburg have decent libraries.
