The Role of Village Libraries in Improving Reading Literacy Among Residents of Bantul, Yogyakarta
Keywords:
Community Literacy, Village Library, Community Empowerment, Community ParticipationAbstract
This community service programme aims to promote literacy improvement and community empowerment in rural areas by optimising the role of the Wukirsari Village Library as a community-based education centre. The activities are carried out using a participatory approach that actively involves the community in three main stages: mapping literacy issues, implementing programmes such as providing reading corners and digital literacy training, and conducting joint evaluations of achievements and impacts. The results of the implementation show that the participation of residents and local stakeholders plays an important role in formulating contextual and sustainable solutions. The programme has successfully increased reading interest, digital skills, and the capacity of village library managers. The Wukirsari Village Library can also serve as a reference for the development of adaptive and community-empowerment-based village libraries. This underscores the importance of synergy between local policies, community support, and village-potential-based approaches to achieving inclusive and sustainable literacy development.
