This makes no sense to me and something should be changed to make it fair for both county residents.

I read about 1 book every week to 10 days so I check out a lot. I find that Boundless has a better selection than Hoopla. I also don't like the daily check out limits with Hoopla. I am a bit frustrated by all three, Boundless, Hoopla, and Cloud Library (replacing Libby), as none seem to have available the entire series of books by one author, or they will have a combination of ebooks and audio books for a series. I do not like to listen to audio books.
Why do you pay $40/year for a library card? Anyone can go into the Lady Lake library, fill out a form, get a card and a slip with the web address and login instructions on it. It's 100% free.
