The diagram below shows the floor plan of a public library 20 years ago and how it looks now.

The

map

illustrates how the central

library

differs when compared to the floor

map

of the

library

of 20 years ago.

Overall

,

it is clear that

the main hall inside the entrance guarantees a larger space by removing tables and chairs which were located in the centre of the

library

. Looking at the maps more closely, we can see that

this

current

map

is the result of adopting the development of the technology. Though 20 years ago, enquiry desks took up large space in the southeastern part of the

map

, they were substituted with information desks and self-service machines not requiring much space.

Instead

of an enquiry desk, a café was created for rest and relaxation.

In addition

, the computer room was renovated at the southwestern corner of the

library

which used to be a reading room 2 decades ago.

Whereas

there was a big room for CDs, videos, and computer games at the upper right part of the

map

, now there are new sofas for storytelling events and children can enjoy fiction books
