The graph illustrates the comparison of a public library 20 years ago and the present time. Overall, it is remarkable that this public library has gone through numerous major changes.
20 years ago, the left-upper side of the library was supposed to be a room filled with CDs, videos, and computer games. In the present time, this room is transformed into a chamber consisting of children’s fiction books and storytelling events. Additionally, the library has added some sofas inside. While long ago the left-middle part of the library was intended to gather adult fiction books, now it is used to store all reference books. In fact, the adult fiction books are now being kept in the right-middle side of the library, together with self-service machines and information desk.
Furthermore, the library has also upgraded some of its facilities, such as the transformation of a room that was utilized as the enquiry desk into a cafe. There is also a transition of a reading room, which was located in the left-down side of the library, into a computer room. In addition, the room in the right-upper side of the library, which was filled with children’s books 20 years ago, is now used as a lecture room. Moreover, the tables and chairs which were supposed to be in the middle of the library have been removed.
