<![CDATA[Library utilization can be gauged through visit statistics, which provide insights into service usage intensity and user behavior patterns. This study aims to analyze patterns, trends (growth or decline), and temporal correlations between library visit numbers and the academic activity calendar at the Universitas Padjadjaran Library Management Office. A descriptive quantitative approach was employed, utilizing secondary data on monthly visits from January 2025 to June 2026. Analysis involved calculating visit totals, averages, and percentage changes; identifying peak and low periods; and interpreting the data against the academic calendar. Results indicate that total visits in 2025 reached 91,128, with a monthly average of 7,594. The highest number of visits occurred in February (13,811), while the lowest occurred in January (2,285). During the January–June 2026 period, visits totaled 18,037 (averaging 3,006 per month), representing a 58.9% decrease compared to the same period in 2025. Visit patterns fluctuated, with February identified as the peak period and January as the low period. Analysis of the academic calendar reveals that the start of the semester and active lecture periods tend to correlate with increased visits, whereas inter-semester transition periods correlate with lower visit numbers. However, the academic calendar is not the sole factor influencing library visit dynamics.]]>
