The diagrams compare the layouts of a bookstore in 2000 and at present.
Overall, the bookstore has undergone significant changes, with the introduction of a café counter and seating area, as well as a reorganization of several sections. While some categories have remained, others have been moved or replaced.
In 2000, the bookstore featured dedicated areas for fiction, travel, cookery, hobbies, art, and non-fiction. The service desk was positioned near the entrance, and a new books table stood at the center. Notably, separate sections for art and hobbies were located in the middle row, opposite the service desk.
Currently, the most evident addition is the café counter, situated in the top-right corner. There is now a seating area with four round tables in the center, replacing the previous new books display and part of the fiction area. While travel and cookery sections remain in similar positions, hobbies and art are now adjacent near the bottom center. The non-fiction section has been reduced to a smaller area along the top, and the service desk remains at the bottom right. The fiction section, previously covering two areas, is now limited to the left side.
Overall, the bookstore now provides more amenities for visitors and has shifted its focus, with reduced space for books and a new café and seating area, reflecting changes in customer preferences.
