What does 'quiet' suggest about the library in the passage?
The town library stands on a quiet street, and its doors open early. The librarian welcomes each visitor with a smile and often knows which book a reader will enjoy. On Saturday mornings toddlers come for story hour, while students study at long wooden tables. People lower their voices out of respect for those who are reading. For many families the library is a second home, a place where anyone can borrow a book and discover something new.
