In 2001, generally, there were four main sections which were self help, history, fiction and newspaper & periodicals located in left side, top and right side respectively. Moreover, there was an entrance situated at the mid bottom of the floor, and from which the customers could access directly to the librarian’s desk and the stairs on the right corner. And there were appearance of tables in the centre used for many purposes such as studying, reading and relaxing.
