People are limited to five books a month.

The problem is that the entire county is limited to 5 books a day. So if five people check out one book before 9 am, no one else in the entire county can check out a book or movie on Hoopla! That seems like a low amount of books available when there are 5 separate library buildings in the county.

There are more than 100,000 people in the county but those 100,000 people can only check out 5 Hoopla books in a day. That is 5 books - not 500,000.
Don't forget about the 425,000 people in Lake County. I live in Lake County, but Sumter County gave me a free library card, so I also have access to the Hoopla books.
