Anyone who thinks that has obviously never been in a busy elementary school
library! While we do try to keep things down to a manageable level, when
three groups are working on three different things, and about 75 5-10 year
olds are in the LC, things do get noisy! I think the image must come from
adult and academic libraries, where, so I'm told, things are a little more
subdued! There are days I go home longing for pease and quiet!
