What Causes the ‘Hush’ of a Library?

Libraries are quiet because people know they need to be. Imagine a room full of kids who all want to read their favorite books, if someone talks too much, the story can't be heard! So everyone just whispers or stays very quiet so that everyone else can enjoy reading too.

When you're in a library, it feels like magic. That's because people are working together to make it peaceful for everyone.
