The given diagram depicts library layout changes between 2004 and 2014.

Overall, it can be seen that the library were modernized by adding new quiet area, more computers and self-service issue machine. Some parts were also changed such as fiction zones, children’s area or removed, for example issue desk and video/CDs.

In 2004, the library had old-fashioned layout. On the left side from the entrance there were study area and enquiry desk. On the opposite side from the study area there were displays with video/CDs zone. The fiction zone was separated into two parts, one part was near displays and another part was on the top between children’s area and computers.

In 2014, the library was rebuild with modern style. The study area and issue desk were converted into a new quiet area. New computers were added into children’s area. Instead of video/CDs zone, a new SSIM were placed. Only non-fiction zone and displays area remained the same without any changes.
