The provided map diagram illustrates the differences in the floor plan of a public library between 20 years ago and the current layout.
Overall, over the 20-year period, the public library has undergone dramatic changes.
The area previously dedicated to CDs, videos, and computer games has been redeveloped into a large space for storytelling events. This area has also been expanded, now including sofas and a section for children’s fiction books. Nearby, visitors can find the reference books section. Additionally, the reading room for newspapers and magazines, which was located from east to west, has been demolished and replaced by a computer room. Tables and chairs that used to occupy the center of the library have also been removed.
On the right side of the public library, there is a lecture room located opposite the storytelling space and the children’s book area. Behind it, the section for adult non-fiction books has been modernized and now houses adult fiction books. An information desk and self-service machines have been introduced in this area. The space that previously housed the enquiry desk, ticket services, and book returns has been transformed into a new café.
