What sold me was that if you belong to Lake County, you can also download over 1000 (and growing) books into your MP3 or you computer and download to CD. I was with Sumter prior to joining Lake and have been much happier with Lakes service and LARGE volume of books available thorugh the whole system not just the locka area. I am now reading a book I got From Umatilla by going onlline and requesting it. They called me when it came in and I stopped by for it. If it is a popular book there may be a waiting list, but then yo get in in turn and don't have to try to catch it when you are in the library. Sumter has this policy also, but Lake and Marion have a much larger pool to choose from in my case.

As a Sumter county resident, I joined the Lake County Library system for $40 too because it offers access to a wide variety of free DVDs and vidoes and the like. And, unlike some other libraries where I used to check out DVDs and videos, they do not charge $1 or more per day for late DVDs and videos. Those can really start adding up at $1 + a day for late videos/DVDs even if they limit the fee per item to say $10.00 maximum.
I will have to check out the Marion County Library system now that I know that I can use the Lake County Library card there after I register ??? ?
