The two maps illustrates the changes made to the ground floor of the library from 2001 to 2009. Overall, it is clear that it had been expanded by introducing a wider range of books and services.
In 2001, the ground floor of the library had a few rooms. To begin with the entrance, it was located in the south of the map. Just opposite and the right side of entrance, librarian’s desk and stairs were located. On the top of the map there used to be fiction room, while history and self-help room were in the west of the layout. Additionally, in the center of the place, 8 tables were placed, and newspaper and periodicals was situated at the east of tables.
In 2009, the ground floor of the library had experienced significant changes. The locations of entrance, librarian’s desk, and stairs remained in its original place. The most noticeable alternation is that the situations of self-help and history rooms had been divided into several smaller rooms, including history, fiction, self-help, kitchen, economics, and law, which was created a wider range of opportunities. Fiction room had been removed to make place for children’s books. Another addition, a children’s area had been constructed between the children’s books and the tables. Even though the number of tables was decreased, its size had been expanded. Newspaper and periodicals had been turned into films and DVDs, and just below of it, the room where readers can use computers was built to create more opportunities.
