I'll make one small but significant point here -- when your children were children, you got them all library cards. No so when your children are adults. Rules are rules.

Observation: I'm a full time resident of another lakes town. My trash isn't picked up. My road isn't plowed. It has nothing to do with whether you're a part-time resident or not. It's not clear what your complaint is.

In other words, have your adult child go act like a spoiled child and throw a tantrum to get her way?

I'll repeat. Rules are rules. Don't like it? Then try to get the rules changed first; throw the tantrum later.
