#plans #show #layout #library #development
The illustration shows the floor plans of a public
library
 now and after its intended development.
Overall
, it’s a one-floor
library
 and has steps leading up to the
entrance
. The main difference is that the
library
 currently has one large
room
 and will be extended to the east, roughly doubling its size. After the extension, on the east side of the
library
, there will be a new
entrance
 into a kid’s
area
 where the kid’s books will be moved, and additional seating will be added. To the south of the kid’s
area
 will be a computer
room
, and to the north will be a store and a staff
room
 with its own staff
entrance
. The existing
room
, to be considered the main
area
, will be narrower
due to
 an internal wall constructed from the north to the south end of the building. The male and female restrooms, original
entrance
, and sections for romance and thriller will all remain unchanged within
this
area
.
However
, the seating, fantasy and mystery sections will be moved closer to the west side of the building to accommodate the changes.
