Task 1 map

The plans show a school library 5 years ago and the same library now.

The two pictures compare a plan of a school library 5 years ago with that current layout.

Overall, there are a number of changes to the library, mainly in the right and left side of the layout. Also, the center of the library is redesigned, bookshelves are removed to the south of the library for the transformation.

The most noticeable development in the library is in the middle of the library, where studying tables are turned into private ones and there are more of them added. Five years ago, book shelves were located in the north and south of the library but now, the book shelves in the south are replaced by some desks for student’s laptops. There are more of them in the northeast of the library which was originally for computers’ desks.

Additionally, an office room in the southeast corner of the library is removed and instead, a conference room has been constructed. In the previous-five-year layout, there were a classroom, a meeting room and a borrowing and returning desk. At present, a classroom is transformed into a recording studio and there are two separate departments for borrowing and returning books.
