[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Floor Plan - Map - Drawing Software

Hi,

I'm new to the list.

I'm interested in drawing software so patrons and new staff,
volunteers and student interns can find materials on shelves easily
and quickly.

Ex. one set of shelves to the far left of the circulation desk would
be labeled Fiction. Then the next set of shelves named Mystery in the
shelves bay to the right of the Fiction shelves bay and then to the
right of that the shelves Bay for Supernatural.

This would be a floor plan so a patron could walk around the library
and look at this floor plan map and know where Fiction is - where
Mystery is, Biography, etc. for every collection throughout the
library.

If I sat with an illustrator they could probably draw it all up in
about 20-30 minutes and I would just scan what they drew and have a
map (crude compared to a 3D) but enough so a patron could find items.

But, is there any *free* software which could accomplish that?

Thank you.
