The two pictures compare the current layout of a public library with how it appeared 20 years ago.
It is evident that changes transformed the function of all sections of the library, including the removal of central tables and chairs.
Currently, upon entering the library, visitors can access the cafe on the right-hand side, which, 20 years ago, served as an inquiry desk for purchasing tickets, returning books, and other services. On the same side, the area now designated as adult fiction section, was once used for adult non-fiction books. Additionally, an information desk and self-service machines have been added to this area.
Twenty years ago, round tables and chairs occupied the center of the library, but they have since been removed. The adult fiction section, previously to the left of this area, has been repurposed as a reference books section and is reduced in size. Furthermore, the children’s fiction section, where storytelling events now take place and two sofas occupy the corners, was formerly used for CDs, videos, and computer games and was smaller in size. Additionally, the former children’s books section and the reading room are now designated as a lecture room and computer room, respectively.
