Shhhh...........the one thing you won't hear in a library
Everything's louder these days not just the library. If it is quiet then people are probably listening to their ipod or something. (Or it's the downtime between lunch and end of school.) Society has changed and libraries have had to change with it or watch their funding go the same way as their commuinities - away.

You make a good point anon. A bit sad though nevertheless.
