OR, does each county library make an independent decision on which, or, how many books they would offer to their customers?
That's a good question. Since you can see the Lake offerings on CloudLibrary already, switch your login to your Sumter card number and see if the same books are available. (I don't have a Lake card so I can't do that - you have both cards so you can)
