Ssssssh!

Leslie Cannold has a piece in the Age today about how noisy libraries have become, especially the State Library of Victoria - I myself could not believe the racket that filled that place last time I went there. Leslie contends that for those of us who value silence as a precious resource, all libraries should have sections where quiet is found and enforced.

Hear! hear! Bring back the scolding librarian, I say.
