The diagrams illustrate the layout of a central library as it was twenty years ago and its current floor plan, highlighting the significant changes that have taken place over this period.
Overall, the library has undergone a complete transformation, shifting from a traditional book-focused layout to a more modern, multifunctional space. The most notable changes include the removal of the enquiry desk, the introduction of self-service technology, and the addition of new facilities such as a computer room and a lecture room.
Twenty years ago, the library was arranged with a clear emphasis on books and quiet study. The entrance led directly to an enquiry desk, which handled ticketing and book returns. To the left of the entrance were adult fiction books and a reading room with newspapers and magazines, while the right side contained adult non-fiction books and a separate section for CDs, videos, and computer games. Tables and chairs were positioned in the centre for reading and studying.
In contrast, the current library layout is more diverse and user-friendly. The enquiry desk has been replaced by an information desk, and self-service machines are now available near the entrance for book returns and borrowing. The left side now features a children's fiction section and a storytelling events area, with comfortable sofas provided for seating. On the right, the adult fiction books remain, but they have been joined by all reference books and a new computer room. Additionally, a lecture room has been added to the space, and more sofas have been placed throughout the library to create a relaxed atmosphere.
In conclusion, the library has evolved from a traditional, service-oriented space into a modern community hub with greater emphasis on technology, children's activities, and comfortable seating, reflecting changing user needs.

Band Score 6The two pictures compares the floor plan of a public library 20 years ago with its appearance now. Overall, there are some major changes such as the disappearance of the tables and chairs at the center of the room as well as the purpose of some parts at every corner of the room. Twenty years ago, there used to be 2 sets of round tables and chairs in the middle of the library, but until this day, they were removed to save space. The designs of the small areas in the top left and bottom right corners were changed. On the top left corner, the room was expanded, adding two sofas opposite to each other. At the bottom right corner, the smooth edge of the original room design was transformed into a normal room, which was the same as the others. Another thing that has changed was the small rooms' purpose. The room at the top left corner was once used as gaming station, while the room adjacent to it was changed into a lecture room instead of the children's books area 20 years ago. The two rooms at the bottom of the library near the entrance were different too. The reading room is now the room for computers, and the desk for librarian to receive returned books or tickets is now a cafeteria. The two hall ways in the center of the library were redesigned. The hall on the left side was turned from area filled with adult's fiction books to an area filled with reference books. On the other hand, the right side was added 3 self-service machines and an information desk. The shelves for adult's fiction books were moved to the right hall way, between the lecture room and information desk.
