The two maps presented illustrate a comparative examination of the school library’s configuration over a five-year duration.
In summary, the library’s layout has predominantly remained unaltered; however, specific areas have undergone substantial functional changes, particularly concerning the quantity of available study tables.
In detail, the western section of the library’s prior arrangement included three adjacent rooms designated for a classroom, a meeting room, and a combined borrowing and returning desk area. The eastern side showcased a library office with a neighboring computer workstation. Additionally, two bookshelves were positioned at the northern and southern ends of the layout, facing each other, with a central study area that contained four tables.
In the current configuration, the rooms in the western section have experienced downsizing to create two distinct borrowing and returning desk spaces, replacing the single desk that existed five years ago. The classroom has transformed into a recording studio, indicating a shift in its intended purpose. On the eastern side, the former library office has changed into a conference room, while the area that accommodated the computer workstation now serves as a space for students to utilize their laptops. Notably, one bookshelf in the north has maintained its original function, while the other has converted into a desk area for students’ laptops, reflecting the arrangement on the eastern side. Finally, the study tables have been reconfigured, increasing from a communal arrangement of four tables to a more private setup of six tables, thereby enhancing both availability and individual study space for students.
