I haven't been in a library or a bookstore since I got my Kindle.
Does anyone have information about the numbers involved in this? How much money will it save the County by doing this? How many people use the library system in Sumter County? What's the breakdown if they have one in numbers of kids vs. adults that use the library system now? What's the Library budget for Sumter County? What's the Budget of Sumter County?

I know that often 75% of the more popular books were often gone from the shelves at Belvedere Library (Sumter County) near the Villages HS. This is information from my parents who use that library about every week.
