The library on the corner of Belvedere and Parr Drive will be very convenient for you. It is small, but I use it a lot and haven't been disappointed.

Thank you UUJudy for a wonderful recommendation!
Avista, you're welcome! I'm glad you're enjoying the book! Does the Nook version have the map that was inside the front and back covers of the regular book?

And as Bare and others have said, the Villages library is a real asset to this place. You can order any book that's in the Sumter County library system, and they'll call you when it's in, so you can pick it up. I've tried to be diligent about NOT buying books since we moved here. I have shelves of books, books, and more books at our house in Utah, and there are really only a few that are 'forever' books. But there's a Barnes & Noble at LSL and a used bookstore at Colony and now I need a bookcase...

Default Thanks to all for these suggestions

Thanks Barefoot, I will try the Parr location library on my next visit - coming down for 2 weeks this Saturday.

I just requested the other books everyone suggested in this thread from our wonderful Columbus Metropolitan Libary system, and was reminded of one of my favorites that I thought I would pass along:

"Night Sky", by Clare Francis - a WWII fiction book set in Brittany - I love WWII fiction, but worry (only occasionally and I don't lose sleep about it) that my grasp of history is a little distorted by the fiction I love to read. I tell myself most of it is based on historical facts, though, that I would never remember except for my love of fiction.

Actually, writing about "Night Sky" makes me want to check it out again!
