Captured voices

"To those with ears to hear, 

libraries are really very noisy places.  

On their shelves 

we hear the captured voices 

of the centuries-old conversation 

that makes up our civilization."  

~ Timothy Healy

Every book on every shelf in every library captures the voice of its author. That's A LOT of voices, all a part of our human conversation through time. Libraries are noisy indeed!
