The library is poorly sited outside the shopping centre and on the brow of a hill, and faces competition from adjoining libraries.
It was set up in 1972 at the instigation of a local councillor who wanted to introduce an information centre in shop-front premises in a new shopping precinct.
However, a more advantageous site was offered, right in the shopping precinct, linking a covered mall of shops with a multi-functional community complex.
The library may circulate materials at off-site outlets such as shopping malls, community facilities, nursing homes, jails, and so forth.
Customers seem to be tiring of malls and chain stores, seeking a more personal service and wanting to bargain.
These maps, as those of us who are outlet junkie bargain-hunters know with assurance, are ones any shopper can pick up in any outlet mall.
Similar types of studies also can be carried out to examine the distribution and social activities of people in extensive institutional spaces such as malls, plazas, walking arcades, and marketplaces.
Now, in all likelihood, we have reached a saturation point at which there will be little construction of new strip malls for some time.
