Sounds of silence (or not) in the library

The library is supposed to be, by its very essence, a quiet place. A place of study and comprehension, and of deep, immersive reading.
The Athenaeum Music & Arts Library in La Jolla is such a place. Walk in on a regular weekday and visitors will find a muted atmosphere — a quaint, historic place to grab one of the thousands of art books in its collection and get lost in thought.
