| Last year I visited the library less frequently because I was not serious with my studies and I had a habit of saying since I was in grade 11 I’ll just be promoted straight to grade 12, so I don’t need to study. But this year, I come more frequently because I’m preparing for grade 12 final exams. The only time I don’t come to the library is on Thursday and Wednesday because I am having study sessions at school. | 1 |

| More frequently. For this year my activities changed I a bit, I spent more time searching for more information with regards to different university courses and institutions to apply for since am in grade 12 this year. I also spend more time doing my school activities and studying for test and exams because I have to score high marks so I can go to University of Namibia. It is a must that I must go to the library every time, I am able to go. It is the only place that assists me with my educational needs, books and computers helping me get information that I need to complete my homework and study for test and exams. | 1 |

| My pattern has changed. From 2015 until 2017, I was visiting the library less frequently because I wasn’t having that much to do at the library, maybe because I was not taking the lower grades serious. But his year because I am a grade 12 learner and I need to focus on my studies to pass the examinations, I come more. | 1 |

| My patterns haven’t changed in anyway, the way I used the library last year is the same way I am using it this year. I visit the library more frequently because grade 9 and 10 have a lot of subject 8 and 9 subjects respectively, so we get a lot of homework and tests. To study for all those subjects which is not easy, the only way you can manage to finish your school work on time and study is to visit the library more frequently and spend a lot of time doing school activities. Next year I will be in grade11 and I will probably spend less time at the because I will be having few subjects, six in total. | 1 |

| Now, I spend less time at the library because I am in the hostel, because we have limited time to be at the library as hostel leaners we can’t spend many hours outside the hostel. The previous years I used it more frequently because I was not in the hostel, I was coming from home. | 1 |

|
| Reading summary. Yes, the frequency changed. Last year I visited the library less frequently, because it was my first time to use the library and I did not know the advantages of using a library. This year, I go there more frequently, especially during exams to study because we write subjects following one another and there are no days in between. So I visit the library more frequently to studying. | 1 |

|
| The frequency did change. When I stated using the library in 2015 my frequency was less because no one really encouraged me to use the library and I didn’t really know the main purpose of a library. However, 2016 and 2017 I started visiting the library more frequently because that time I was in grade 10 and 11, respectively and the amount of school work was a lot; too many homeworks and tests to study for. The activities I do has not changed just the amount of time I spend on them that changed. In 2015 I spent about two hours or less at the library but compared to these years I spend more time doing my school activities. And this is really the only place I can do my school activities. | 1 |

|
| The patterns changed because the year I started using the library I came more frequently because I was not in the hostel. This year, I come less frequently because I am in the hostel. The time I spend in the library hasn’t changed its still the same, because I only come here after school and school comes out at 14h00, leaving not much time to spend in the library. | 1 |

| Yes I do visit the library more frequently now. I come two times per day and I spend about two hours here. In the past I just came for specific reasons such as searching for school related information, and now I come to Wi-Fi and hang out with my friends for those two hours. | 1 |

|
| Yes, 2014 I use to spend less time at the library because the small kid where all over the library making noise and playing outside; there was no kid section that time, but this year I spend more time at the library studying because now the kid have a kids section where they can do their things. It is quiet now for studying. And another reason, I come less frequently is because I am now living in the hostel. And during the holidays, sometimes I don’t really go there because of chores at home to help my mom. | 1 |
