The librarian probably had authority to do more then just tell you to be quiet! Like

I. 1st offense scourged,
2. 2nd offense hung by thumbs,
3. 3rd offense, tongue cut out.

probably not a 4th offense for loud talking after that

The librarian’s name was Conan the Librarian.

Hey, if they wanted quiet, they shouldn't have handed out the free wine.
