The picture illustrates how the overall functionality of the public library has changed over the last two decades.
Clearly, not only have there been significant modifications to the north and south sides of the library, where new facilities have been constructed and old ones replaced, but there have also been both minor and major expansions and changes on the east and west sides
Twenty years ago, there was a reading room where gazettes and journals could be read, and the gateway was located on the southern side, whereas the reception desk was placed in the eastern part. Fiction and non-fiction literature were placed on the right and left sides of the library, respectively, near the seating area located in the middle, which featured a number of round tables. In addition, on the northern side of the area, there was a space for young readers, and opposite it was where digital entertainment was provided
Today, there have been major adjustments on the northern side of the library, where computers and video games were removed and replaced by storytelling events. As a result of these changes, the area was expanded to meet the needs of children’s fiction books. Additionally, two sofas were added, and no sooner had the children’s section closed than the lecture room opened. Tables and chairs were removed from the middle part, and adult fiction books were moved to the east side. In front of this area, two new features have been added—an information desk and three self-service machines—in the library, while on the west side, the old adult fiction section has decreased in size and been replaced by reference books. Furthermore, the last two changes were the reading room and the enquiry desk, which have been replaced by a computer room and a café located on the southwest and east sides near the entrance, which was the only area that remained unchanged.
