Overall

While
the number of rooms remained unchanged at four, the purpose of each
room
has been altered. Regarding the storage of
books
, the classification system was updated compared to 20 years ago:
while
there were three categories of children's,
adult
fiction
and
adult
-non-
fiction
books
in the past,
books
are now classified into children's
fiction
,
adult
fiction
and all reference
books
.
In addition
,
adult
fiction
books
are now displayed on the right side of the corridor, fronting the information desk. The area where
adult
fiction
books
used to be is now taken by reference
books
.
Finally
, the
room
of children's
books
was replaced by the lecture
room
, and the
books
are now placed in the
room
at the left-upper corner, where storytelling events take place. Several new facilities have been constructed in the public library as well.
While
the tables and chairs at the centre of the corridor were removed, self-service machines were newly implemented right behind the information desk. Next to the machines, a cafe was built on the right side of the entrance, where the enquiry desks were located
initially
. On the left of the entrance, the reading
room
