Task answer
The diagrams illustrate the large-scale transformation that a public library has undergone within 20 years, of which one shows the version of the past, and the other shows the current layout.
Overall, the library experienced a significant change in its layout, where every room has been replaced with another for a different purpose, and the placement of an information desk and cafe is a notable addition.
First of all, a room initially used for watching CDs and videos, and enjoying computer games, was expanded in its space, and replaced by a reading area for children that places two sofas on each side. Additionally, an area first used as a reading room for newspapers and magazines was reformed as a computer room, and an area to its north was transformed into a section containing all types of books.
Subsequently, the former children's room was reconstructed as a lecture room, and the open area to its south became a place where adult fiction books can be seen. Also, an information desk was added to this area, with three self-service machines against it. However, the tables and chairs that used to be placed in the middle of the library is now removed. Finally, the room, that used to be an enquiry desk for distributing tickets and returning books, has now transformed into a cafe for users to spend relaxed time.
