The two pictures compare the current layout of a public library with how it looked 20 years ago.
It is evident that the changes involved the transformation functions of all sections of the library, as well as the removal of central tables and chairs.
Currently, when entering the library, visitors can access the cafe on the right-hand side, which, 20 years ago, used to be an inquiry desk for purchasing tickets, returning books, etc. On the same side, the area that now is designated as the adult fiction books section was once for the adult non-fiction books. Additionally, the information desk and self-service machines are added to this section as well.
20 years ago, there were round tables and chairs in the middle of the Central Library, while now these objects are removed. Moreover, the adult fiction section, left to this area, is now transformed as the section for all reference books and is reduced in size. Furthermore, the children’s fiction books area, where now storytelling events take place and has two sofas on corners, was the section for CDs, videos, and computer games 20 years ago, and had smaller proportions. Additionally, the prior children’s books section and reading room, are now designated as lecture room and computer room, respectively.
