Bongos. Why?

I don't know why it is, but libraries just ain't what they used to be. Sure, it used to be kind of a bummer that you couldn't make a peep, but at least it was one place where you could get some peace and quiet - a rare commodity these days. Now, you're pretty much hard-pushed to find a public library where you can get some quality quiet time. In fact, librarians are pretty much falling over themselves to make libraries the noisiest places on the planet. Take for instance the other day when our library hosted a fucking drumming workshop of all things. Picture this: it's the middle of the week and there's just a low, pleasant hum of solitary people sounds: people typing on computers, listening to music on their headphones or snoring away in an easy chair. Now imagine 20 or so kids pounding away on 20 or so bongo drums. It's pretty much akin to the roar of a bulldozer in a forest obliterating the birdsong. Pretty much cleared the place out. Stupid.
