The NY Public Library which was established in 1895 shares the same architectural elements as the old concert halls. Stone (sound reflective) material at the bottom, glass openings (allow sound to exit the room) at the middle and detailed ceiling (sound dispersing) at the top. If the argument of a library is to minimize the sound produced inside and not diffuse it around the room then how would a library be if all materials used (from furnitures to walls) were sound absorbing ones just like a Sound Room is designed?

b.       Laminate wood on the walls, white plastic ceiling, carpet probably glued down on the floor, stainless steel hand railing.
