It's uncertain how a city with such rural characteristics sprouted up so close to Downtown…read moreCincinnati, but this trait gives Wilder its charm. Best known as home to country music legend, Bobby Mackey, Wilder is a quaint town bordering the bustling urban areas of Newport and Covington. Blue collar and industrial, you'll find plenty of manufacturing stations along their main street of Licking Pike. Most of Wilder's business features chain establishments and gas stations, with the occasional diamond in the trough such as the Mellow Mushroom pizzeria. (If you like Dewey's, you need to try it.) Wilder is known for its well-attended community events, like their phenomenal Fish Fry during Lent that helps support the Fire Department. They take pride in honoring the armed forces with tributes to the troops throughout the year. Their most notable event, The Bluegrass Festival, takes place each summer and features an entire day of local and regional musicians. Mainly a blue collared town, Wilder has a split on housing styles: some being older 1950's styles in need of some repair, others are 1980s models with landscaping. Regardless of where you live, the people are some of the kindest and most generous neighbors you'll meet. Southern hospitality and southern accents; you'll find it just 10 minutes south of Downtown Cincinnati.

I used to come to this library, up until August 2022, when they put in the "learning through play"…read morething in this small library. I was using this library to do research on my book that I was working on since 2018, then on a second book since November 2021. With all of the kids being so disruptively loud in this library, it makes thinking in what is supposed to be a quiet area non-existent. They definitely should have put that play area over in the Newport library, like the other person said in their review here. I have been down at the Newport library, and they do not use the bottom two meeting areas that often and the larger of the two meeting areas downstairs at the Newport branch would have been much better suited for that play area that the Cold Spri branch has in it currently.

Visted station 6 of the Anderson Township Fire Department. Not for any sort of emergency mind you,…read morebut for a community open house. Station 6 played host to various emergency response units, as well as community partners, for a day of education, fun, and food. These type of events are great for both children and parents. Children get to enjoy climbing in and on the vehicles, trying on gear, and watching/participating in various demonstrations. This sort of outreach event helps eduate about newly added services. It also serves as a reminder to update information. Adults come home with a multitude of pamphlets. These pamphlets, combined with children's excitement of the day, acts as a great motivator for families to practice/ go over emergency safety plans at home. I thank the men and women who help keep Anderson safe, not only when there is an emergency, but before one can start.

I use to enjoy going to this library, because it was quiet and I didn't have to worry about being…read morebothered by the staff. After yesterday, I don't feel safe there at this branch any more. I was using the study room to work on some research that I was doing for something that I'm currently working on for myself, (which the room is free, if it is available/not reserved when you want to use it). When I came out of the study room, because I had a library book that I was done using and wanted to return it back to the library. As I was walking over to where you can return books, these two guys (one of which I know works at a different branch of the county library system) and another guy talked to me in such a way that I felt like they were mocking me or even making fun of me for using the study room at all. It wasn't like I was disturbing anybody while I was using the study room at all -- I just needed a bigger table to work at, (because I wanted more space to use both my lap top AND my large binders, due to me doing some research and having hard copies that take up some space on a table). The way that the second guy was asking me how I enjoyed using the study room, I took it to mean that he wanted me to immediately get out of the room and out of the building entirely, which I came right out and asked him if that was what he was implying to me. The guy responded that he didn't want me to leave, but where he and the other guy were laughing at me for being in the study room and quietly working on my research in there, it made me feel unsafe and unwelcome. I quickly cleaned up my stuff from inside the study room shortly thereafter and left to head home, feeling quite unhappy and almost violated by those two guys.
