The diagram below shows the floor plan of a public library 20 years ago and how it looks now.
This
map shows the changes in the layout of the Public Library at two different times, two decades ago and today.
Overall
, many new facilities have been added to the Central Library. It is worth noting that the
place
at the north-west corner of the map has been enlarged and the foyer has been extended by removing tables and chairs. A closer look at the map reveals that an
area
for CDs, videos and computer games has become a
place
with 2 sofas to provide comfort during storytelling sessions and children's books.
On the other hand
, a
place
where children's books were stored has become a lecture
area
. Over the
last
20 years, there has been a breakthrough in technology. A reading
area
with newspapers and magazines has been replaced by a computer
place
, and self-service machines have been placed between the lecture
area
and a café.
In addition
, adult fiction books and an information desk were placed next to the self-service machines. The information desk has
also
been converted into a café.
