The image consists of two floor plans labeled "Central Library 20 years ago" and "Central Library today," illustrating changes in the library’s layout and features over time. The "Central Library 20 years ago" contains specific sections positioned around a central reading room with newspapers & magazines, including areas dedicated to CDs, videos, computer games, adult fiction books, children's books, adult non-fiction books, as well as tables & chairs, and an enquiry desk handling tickets and book returns near the entrance. In contrast, "Central Library today" shows a revised layout including a separate lecture room, a computer room, areas for children's fiction books, adult fiction books, all reference books, and the introduction of self-service machines. Additional comfort and interaction areas such as sofas and storytelling events spaces are also depicted. Core functionalities like an information desk and a café have been added, enhancing the library's utility and visitor experience. Both plans share a common entrance, though the library’s internal distribution and services have been significantly overhauled to presumably adapt to modern needs and technology trends.

The two maps illustrate the floor plan of the central library at present and compare it to what it looked like 20 years ago.
Overall, it is evident that the technological revolution played a critical role in the evolution of the place. While the entrance and rooms might approximately match their previous locations, they have now been completely repurposed, and the once quiet place reserved for reading and learning has been transformed into a venue appropriate for events and meetings.
Firstly, it is evident that a much smaller space is reserved for books and reading. What once was a reading room is now a computer room; furthermore, the tables and chairs utilized for reading in the middle of the library are now completely gone. Moreover, the room where children’s books used to reside is now a lecture room. What’s more, the adult function books are now shunted into a small corner.
However, on the bright side, the library is now a more social place. The enquiry desk has been moved and transformed into a couple of self-service machines and a much smaller information desk, allowing for the building of a café. In addition, the place where videos and CDs were once stored, rendered obsolete by time, has been transformed into a comfortable venue for children’s storytelling.
