Running this map
The staircase in the middle means there is no back of the room, and anything can arrive from either direction. The ritual circle tells the party that something is being prepared, which lands better than saying so. Bookshelves are cover that burns, so expect a player to notice that before you do.
The prompt that made it
This is the exact text the generator was given. Change a detail or two and you get a map that fits your table instead of ours, which is the whole reason the prompt is here rather than hidden.
The interior of a circular wizard's tower library seen from above. Bookshelves line the curved walls from floor to ceiling. A spiral staircase in the center connects to floors above and below. A large desk covered in scrolls, inkpots, and open books. Glowing orbs float near the ceiling providing blue-white light. Arcane symbols are etched into the stone floor forming a ritual circle. Potions and alchemical equipment on a side table. Top-down, grid-aligned, battle map style.
Using it in a virtual tabletop
Suggested grid: 20 by 15 squares, 5 feet each
The map is drawn without grid lines on purpose, so you can set your own and have it line up. In Roll20 and Foundry VTT, upload the image, then set the grid to these dimensions and nudge the alignment until the squares sit on the terrain.
The file is a standard image, so it imports into Roll20, Foundry VTT, Owlbear Rodeo and Fantasy Grounds the same way any other map does. It also prints, if your table plays in person. For more maps of this kind, see the dungeon map generator.
