Old Library VS NEW Library

At first, when it was announced that the old library was going to stop operating when the new library had opened doors, students thought that it was a ridiculous idea. Everyone began to question, "Why not have two library's and have double the number of seats, tables, computers and space?"

My comparison here highlights the qualities of the old library with the new library, showing that our new library can alone meet the students needs.
