I've worked in two different libraries, one with wood shelves, the other
with metal. I see no difference in sound. What I do notice is that
bookends slip more on wood. That being said, my metal shelves had a groove
in the center for bookends to be fastened into the grooves. Aesthetically,
the wood is prettier.
Happily Ever After,
