You're implying "li" means quiet and I have no choice but to believe this madness because I can't be bothered to look it up.

It comes from the Latin libre, meaning free.

This is incorrect.

From Wikipedia:

The term library is based on the Latin word liber for 'book' or 'document', contained in Latin libraria 'collection of books' and librarium 'container for books'.
