What should I upload in this Develop Solutions step?
Consider uploading images (JPG, GIF) of your rough digital model. It's ok if your model is still a work in progress. Show an axonometric or perspective view with people, which will help others understand the scale of your library.
How do I develop solutions?
Look at all of the ideas you gathered in the last step. How do those respond to the needs of the space? Learn more about developing solutions here.

This was the second cafeteria design I made. Using railings, I tried to further separate the hot lunch people from the sack lunch people. Not sure if this would work or not, I decided to completely separate the dining and "food getting" areas in my final design.
I also had multiple levels of seating, increasing a foot at a time to create a flooring system that appeared sort of like topography. However, I didn't like this afterwards because people would find it irritating to have random steps everywhere. I needed to simplify a little bit.
In this design, however, I did have a much larger balcony with multiple upstairs pathways to get there. But I then thought about the people who like to eat on ground level, like being near flowers and trees, and I knew then that I would also have to have a ground level eating area.
Okay, I now see that you do have some written description with the plans of your first two designs. I understand some of the motivations behind your design decisions in your final design but I am not 100% convinced that completely separating the dining from the serving areas will resolve the congestion problem you initially described, I think bottle-necking might happen at the entry/exits of your circular spaces. What inspired your separate, circular spaces? It seems quite different from your first two layouts.
