Liu Ying: Good afternoon.
Librarian: Good afternoon. Can I help you?
Liu Ying: Do you have From Earth to Moon?
Librarian: Let me see ... Ah, here it is.
Liu Ying: Thank you. How long may I keep it?
Librarian: Two weeks.

I think the verb “keep” in “How long may I keep it?” can be replaced with “borrow”. Could you tell me which word you use more often in this context?
