I have adddressed it with the Sumter County library. They are too cheap to pay to use the Libby app. By the way, the Sumter County libraries are operated under a contract with a private company. Also, they have decided to not use any security measures to protect their books and DVDs from being stolen. Anyone can walk out with books and DVDs and they will not be detected or stopped by any electronic alarm or detection device. I have observed people walk out with at least 10 DVD movies and not check them out. To me, this is a waste of taxpayer money. Shameful.
