How often do you see bookholders being used in libraries in the US? [closed]

Question

So I come from a country where I see from time to time students using bookholders in the classroom during lectures especially during studying.

In college in the US I rarely saw these kinds of things being used, but I might be wrong -- are these widely used in the US?

Answer 1

Bookstands like those illustrated in the Amazon link are quite uncommon in US collegiate libraries. Not unknown, but it is indeed unusual to see them.
