The diagrams illustrate the layout of a bookstore in 2000 and how it has changed at present.
Overall, the bookstore has undergone a significant transformation, shifting from a traditional book-focused layout to a more modern, customer-oriented space. While books still occupy an important role, a café and seating areas have been introduced, and some sections have been reorganised or reduced.
In 2000, the bookstore mainly consisted of clearly separated book categories. Fiction books occupied a large area on the left side and along the back wall, while non-fiction was located on the right. Several smaller sections, including cookery, hobbies, and art, were positioned in the centre of the store. Additionally, there were dedicated areas for travel books and a new books table near the entrance, alongside a service desk in the bottom-right corner.
At present, the layout has become more open and social. The fiction section has been reduced and relocated to the left side, while non-fiction now occupies the central back area. The most notable change is the addition of a café with seating in the right-hand side of the bookstore. Although cookery, hobbies, and art sections still exist, they have been moved to different positions and are more compact. The new books table and service desk remain near the entrance, maintaining their original functions.
