Overall Feedback:

I have lived in a variety of places and visit libraries often so I feel I have some valuable input for those of you interested in visiting this library and especially for those who manage it. Pros:-The staff at this library is courteous (even friendly) and most of them, most of the time, are happy to be there and anxious to help. -The books are limited but which isn’t unusual in a small population but the staff works hard to buy or borrow what you need from other libraries. -The DVD lending policy is liberal and the collection is extensive for such a small library. -There are several desktop computers available for browsing and often when I come in there are several that are not in use. -This library sponsors a variety of events from concerts to crafts. Often these events are held in their spacious meeting hall by the lobby. -Most of the bigger libraries I have been to are plagued with snoring, odorous, homeless. Fortunately, that doesn’t seem to be an issue here.-The library is very clean and the men’s bathroom surprisingly so.Cons: Unfortunately, the disadvantages to the Harrison County / Cynthiana Public Library are three of the most important to me. As much as Harrison County and the City of Cynthiana collect in taxes one would think there would be more funding for such a valuable community resource.-First, their wireless broadband access, is pitifully slow. I would love to see them pay for less arts & crafts, children’s gaming tablets, “Playaways”, etc. and instead upgrade their bandwidth. It is so slow that most of the time I can't even use it.As I write this I am literally unable to post this review because of the slow internet access speeds. -Second, there are not a lot of good locations to set up one's laptop computer or study quietly. There are three secluded tables in two separate rooms with easy access to an outlet and none in the main area. which brings me to my final complaint.-Third, this is often a noisy library. They don't have or don't enforce a "quiet" rule and there is no ban on talking loudly on one's cell phone. They really need to establish and enforce a cell phone ban and institute a headphone/earbud policy for the noisy video games and cartoons.At this moment I am listening to a couple here at the library on speakerphone ordering a pizza or something.To end on a positive note; I have for the past year and will still use this library several times a week for its quiet study room, DVDs, books, and the like.
