Hardesty Regional Library

I want to acknowledge that the library itself is beautiful, and I appreciate the availability of reservable meeting rooms for academic use. I had reserved a meeting room and, prior to beginning, specifically asked for permission to record a school assignment until 4:50 p.m., knowing the library closes at 5:00 p.m. I wanted to ensure I was compliant with library policies before starting. Permission was granted, so I proceeded with the assignment. At approximately 4:40 p.m., three employees entered the meeting room and demanded that I leave immediately. This occurred while I was in the middle of a live, single-take recorded assignment. The assignment could not be paused or restarted due to academic integrity rules regarding cheating or misconduct. The interruption significantly affected m

A really nice facility, plenty of parking, well-designed and divided sections. There's a genealogy research section here with lots of book resources, county records and reserved computers upstairs.
