When the library closes at nine p.m. on Mondays through Thursdays, the librarians check that all patrons have left the building, the stacks, the bathrooms, every nook and cranny in the two-story building. We call out, 'library is closing' as fair warning because no one wants to be left behind in a deserted library at night. When we are sure everyone is out, we lock up and get in our cars to go home, but lately the extreme quiet that is a library at night after hours has been filled with the sounds of frogs croaking their little hearts out in the swamp behind the library. That's a sound no librarian wants to 'shush.'
