The survey results show that generally student choose B as an answer. Based on the questionnaire given, thats mean they when to the library four times a month.The data showed as many as 13 students merely using library less than four times in one month period. In fact,only two students using library twice a month. The remaining seven students use library six times and seven students more, use library more than six times in one month period. How come this situation happened in the institution that trained student to become a teacher if they are not using a library frequently. This is quiet frustrating because the student used the library in a minimum rate.

Data retrieve from SalimMdZain in his blog said, the number of books read among Malaysian students also left very far behind compared with other country. Based on a survey, number of books read by Australian student is 180 books, Indonesia 94 books, India 130 books, Thailand 56 books and Brunei 26 books. The statistic indicates that Malaysian student just read four books a year. This statistic conclude that the government needs to do something such as reading campaign in order to improve reading consciousness among people in Malaysia. The fourth question is about the time that student usually went to the library.Data retrieve show that 60% of students use library when the class are cancel. The remaining students like to go to the library during break time and after the class session. This situation required further attention from the lecturer and administration.
