Describe for me a serene scene inside a library with shelves, a returns desk, and long curtains.

Long heavy curtains drop from ceiling to floor and are flung wide to allow an abundance of light through the long-paned windows in the northern wall. Tall shelves of cedar and oak line the east and west walls. At each small reading desk sits a lantern ready to provide ample light for patrons who choose to read at night. The hushed stillness is broken only by the soft murmur of conversation between librarians, who return the books left on the small mahogany returns desk.
