The diagram below shows the floor plan of a public library20 years ago and how it looks now.
The two given maps depict the central library during 20 years, between the past and the present.
Overall
, it is evident that eight new features are added to the latter
map
, including a lecture
room
,
adult
fiction
books
, an information
desk
, three self-service machines, one cafe, a computer
room
, an
area
for reference
books
and a
part
for children's
books
In the former
map
, there were two circular tables and 16 chairs in the middle of the floor and on the right side of the tables there was an
area
for
adult
non-
fiction
books
. On the south side of the
adult
non-
fiction
books
area
, there was an enquiry
desk
which used to be for tickets, book returns etc. The only unchanged feature is the entrance. As can be seen in the second plan, a
part
of former
adult
fiction
books
is rebuilt to reduce its size.
Moreover
, the rest of that
area
is used for a rectangular information
desk
and three self-service machines.
Also
, the enquiry
desk
was demolished to make way for a new cafe in the southeast of the present
map
. In the previous
map
, there was a rectangular
room
for CDs, videos and computer games,
however
at present, they are converted into two shapeless sofas, an
area
for storytelling events
as well as
a
part
for children's
fiction
books
.
Besides
, where a computer
room
stands which is situated in the southwest corner of the second plan, there used to be a reading
room
which contained both newspapers and magazines. The children's
books
room
was
also
destroyed to make way for a new rectangular lecture
room
. In front of the reading
room
in the former plan, there was an
area
for
adult
fiction
books
which now is converted into a
part
for all reference
books
.
