The map compares the layout of Central Library today and 20 years ago.
Overall
, the library's layout changed almost everything except the entrance and the
room
in the upright
corner
. These changes include sizes, shapes, door locations, and area allocations.
Firstly
, in the top left
corner
, there is a CDs, videos, and computer games section that changed into a place to hold storytelling events and store children's fiction
books
;
thus
, the area had a bigger size to fit sofas. In front of the
room
, there used to be a section of adult fiction
books
but now had been replaced by all reference
books
.
Then
, the
room
in the bottom left
corner
used to be a reading
room
where people could read newspapers and magazines, 20 years later it changed into a computer
room
with different door placement. In the middle of the library, tables and chairs were removed. The enquiry desk that used to be in the bottom right
corner
had been replaced by a cafe that had walls around it.
Consequently
, now the information desk was moved to the right middle with an addition of self-service machines and a collection of adult fiction
books
. The building in the top right
corner
had not changed its construction but rather its purpose, from a children's
books
collection to a lecture
room
.
