When I applied for a Lake County library card, I told the librarian that I lived in Lake County and wanted a card. She said that you live in Sumter County in The Villages and had to pay for a card. I corrected her and she then looked up my address on a map to verify that I did live in Lake County. Only then would she give me a free card.
Note that the Lake County Library System has reciprocal borrowing agreements with Marion, Seminole, and Volusia Counties, but not Sumter County. Sumter County residents must pay $40 per year for a library card. All card applicants must provide proof of residence.

Ah. I can understand that. Not all library systems have reciprocal borrowing agreements. I just assumed it was someone getting a card from their own territory's system. I live in Lady Lake, in Lake County. Maybe the confusion happens when someone says they live in The Villages - since that phrase - "The Villages" is used primarily within Sumter County?
It's a good thing the clerk double checked for you though.
