It was probably something like
Daily More than once a week More than once a month About once every two months Once a year Never
Which is a lot easier to estimate and answer for most people.
For instance my mom would probably just pick the twice a month or weekly answer even though sometimes she’s traveling and wouldn’t be there for a week.
First of all I don’t have a great memory of specific things in my day to day life. Ask me today what I had for dinner two days ago I could venture a guess based on what I usually have for dinner, but I couldn’t give you an answer with great confidence.
Anyway, part of what makes it kind of hard to define how much I have been to the library is also because I sometimes pass through the library at the university.
And I have borrowed like one book recently, but I don’t remember if that was within the last year or not.
But actually what I was wanting to say was that, different people might count what constitutes a visit to the library differently. To me, simply passing by to drop off a book does not constitute a visit. Whereas going there to borrow a book counts. And going there to attend some sort of event counts. And going there to browse the shelves for a while counts. And going there to just sit down and work with some of my own stuff on my computer counts.
