Firstly, the most noticeable part is circular tables and chairs were removed in the centre. On the left hand side, new two identical couches are placed in a left-side room above. This room extended its size, and remodelled as a children’s room to enjoy fiction books and participate in storytelling events. The left computer games and resources are transfered into a left corner room below a children’s fiction room. The location of a door has been changed vertically. On the right hand side, they put some megazines and newspaper on the outside while they were stored in a room 30 years ago. Furthermore, the enquiry desk has been eliminated, instead, the authomatic self-service desks are placed on a hall way. The over shaped desk were reconstructed into a cafe for customers. Moreover, fiction books for adults are categorised on a side of the wall of a lecture room while adult non-fiction books has removed.
