Swishing of the wind as the students walk by.
Keyboards clicking, space bars gliding across the page with quick thuds.
Wooden chairs knocking against the desks.
Spurts of audio streaming from headphones set to loud.
Electric pencil sharpener roaring on and off again.
Clanking and rumbling of the photocopier, drilling shrills of the electronic hole punch.
Students lamenting about their day, backpacks plopping against the floor.
Office phones alerting tones, cellphones disturbing moans.
Squealing from book cart wheels, metal rattling as heels are dragging.
Book covers crackling while being pushed and pulled on the shelves.
Beeping from scanners devouring the data.
Thanks you from patrons as they collect their newly borrowed items.
These are the sounds of the library.
