The diagram below shows the floor plan of a public library 20 years ago, and how it appears now. Summarize the information, report the main features, and make comparisons wherever relevant.
This
diagram compares a central library in a certain city with what it was 20 years ago. As a whole, the most important change is that the job that used to be for the inquiry desk
is now divided into information help services by humans and machine-based inquiry services; with other parts changed, people can now feel more comfortable than before.
First,
when you enter the entrance of the library today, there is a café on your right hand and a computer room
on your left hand, which used to be an inquiry desk
and reading room
20 years ago. Second,
services dealing with tickets, book rentals, and returns have shifted from person-to-person to computer using self-service machines between the information desk
and the cafe. Third,
the adult fiction book area was moved to the current location on the right side of the library behind the information desk
. In addition
, the children's book corner was replaced by the lecture room
, and it was given more room
for children's fiction books with two sofas and a space storytelling event on the opposite side.
On the other hand
, tables and chairs in the centre and the section on CDs, videos, and computer games were all removed, and the adult non-fiction books seem to be united into the corner of all reference books, which creates more space than before.Submitted by kana_ayaki on
