20 years ago, the library was quite simple. Clusters of tables and chairs were equipped in the center of the area and were between the sections for adult fiction books and non-fiction ones. At the top left corner stood was a room for CDs, videos and computer games, which was opposite the room for children's materials. At the bottom right corner stood a reception desk, facing the room for entertainment materials.
At present, the central library has undergone massive changes. The room for CDs and games was replaced by a section for storytelling events, incorporated with a zone for children's fiction books with a few sofas. The children's book section at the top right corner has been demolished for a new lecture room to be erected. At the bottom, the reading room has been superseded with a novel computer room, and the enquiry desk a new café. The section for adult non-fiction book on the left was replaced by several separate zones, including the information desk and a row of self-service machines. On the opposite side, the adult fiction books were transferred to the top of the information desk, making way for the zone of all reference materials. All the furniture in the middle of the library was removed, and the entranced remains intact.
