Libraries in TV?

[Boilerman]

I was wondering if there are good libraries in TV. I still enjoy going to a library that has a good selection of magazines and newspapers.

I wouldn't expect the same size library as a major population center but how would you rate the libraries? Where are they located?

Great library in the Sumter County complex at the corner of 466A and Powell.

There are 2 Sumter County branch libraries locate in The Villages -- Wildwood (Pinellas Plaza) and Belvedere Dr. near Buffalo Ridge

here is the website
Library Services | Sumter County, FL - Official Website (http://sumtercountyfl.gov/90/Library-Services)

Services are very comparable to any large county public library
Also access to many online resources.

Parts of The Villages are in Marion County where the nearest branch is in Belleview.

Parts of The Villages are in Lake County where the nearest branch is in Lady Lake.

There is also a neat little library behind the Paradise Rec Center on the Historic side.

I use the Belvedere Library and find them excellent. They will get me any book I would like to read, and if they do not have it in the system you can ask for it to be purchased which is what I am doing right now. Hoping to hear that they will add my choice to the library.

Panellas is a great library, much bigger than Belvedere and seems to carry a huge selection of books. I have not seen much in the way of magazines, just the very usual half a dozen, plus they have a good selection of newspapers.

If all you want is magazines and newspapers, go to Barnes & Nobles at LSL. Most days when I go in, they have about ten chairs scattered about in the magazine section and people are sitting and reading the magazines. They're even have a Starbucks about 20' away.

I enjoy the Belvedere Library which is on the corner of Parr Drive across from the Fire Station.
You can use their computers. Or bring your own tablet, sit on the verandah and access their Wifi.
