A questionnaire is used to collect primary data from users to know the different dimensions of the study. The results reveal that the Frequency of daily visitors to libraries is very low as majority of users prefer to visit monthly or weekly basis. Libraries must take proper steps in order to catch good number of readers on daily basis.
