Manchester Libraries, recording quiet places

So one of the initial ideas I had for this project was to map quiet places, create a map of quiet places to go around the city or find ways to create and find quiet space in a noisy city. Manchester is not a city with a great deal of parks large enough for quiet reflection, any significant green space in the city centre or anywhere really that can be said to be "quiet", and I don't mean silent, of course just, you know, not on the street sound levels.
So, of course I thought to start the quiet map in the incredible collection of libraries we have here.
