The two given maps depict the layout of a public central library 20 years ago and how it appears now.

The present public central library has undergone significant changes, particularly in terms of technology. In contrast, 20 years ago, it was more primitive. A notable addition is the computer room, which provides digital access. Furthermore, self-service machines have replaced the enquiry desk. There have been many developments, such as storytelling events, a lecture room, a cafe, and so on.
Moreover, the library has reorganized its spaces to have clear sections for different age groups, including areas for children’s and adult fiction, as well as reference books. The old reading room has changed into a lecture room for group learning and events. These updates show that the library is now modern and better meets the needs of its users.
