Do you stay in the center lane? [blue arrows] Or transit to the curb lane
[red arrows] and then back to the center lane for the second left turn?

If it depends on how far the second left is, then how far is that?

Stay blue. KFC is a fairly narrow frontage, and for all the overtaking
motorist knows, you could be turning there (although it seems very
close to the intersection). Lane position should tell them everything
they need to know, and if they don't get it, stick an arm out.

(I sometimes offer an abbreviated signal of a finger point; it's just
for those who need to see it.)

Now, if you were going from the distance of KFC + library times 2 or
more, it might be worth turning into the curb lave space, then moving
over. Depends on the amount of traffic and how crazy things are at the
intersection.
