I wish my local Library was as quiet as this part of MSE
Sadly it's not. On a monday they have about 100 under 5's singing and running around up and down the aisles. Pushchairs and tantrums everywhere. It has to be heard to be believed. I remember when you couldn't even whisper in a Library without being shushed by an assistant. (70's) Great days. :)
