Children's interest in reading in Indonesia is still a big challenge, although there are many efforts to improve it. Many factors influence, such as lack of access to interesting books, more dominant gadget play habits, and also an environment that is less supportive of reading habits. However, children's interest in reading in Indonesia can grow if they are introduced to relevant and interesting books, and encouraged to read from an early age. To foster an interest in reading, children need to be given the opportunity to find the type of reading that suits their interests and age.

In addition, a supportive school and family environment, such as providing special time to read and discuss books, also plays a very important role in fostering positive reading habits. This research is qualitative with informants from the Principal and supporting informants for librarians, teachers and students at Nurul Hadina Junior High School. Data were collected using observation, interviews and documentation. The results of the study show that Nurul Hadina Junior High School plays an active role in increasing students' interest in reading through the school library.

This scientific paper aims to determine how exports and imports affect Indonesia's economic growth. The main focus of this study is Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and Indonesia's Economic Growth. The data used comes from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), and the data collection is carried out by documentation. The results of the study show that exports and imports have an impact on Indonesia's economic growth. In conclusion, if Indonesia exports more goods than imports, state revenues will increase and economic growth will also be better. However, during the pandemic, Indonesia faced many difficulties that affected imports, such as high unemployment rates and declining public income, which reduced people's purchasing power. In addition, the price of imported goods became more expensive. Exports were also hampered because many countries restricted their borders, so that the delivery of export goods was disrupted. These difficulties reduced state revenues, because unemployment increased and domestic production was hampered. All of these problems have an impact on economic growth. To overcome this, the government has made policies to help restore the economy and keep economic growth from slowing down.

This study aims to deeply analyze the role of religious literacy in improving maharah qira'ah (reading ability) at SMP Pahlawan Nasional Kota Medan. Using a qualitative-descriptive approach, this study explores data thoroughly regarding students' ability to read the Qur'an and its relationship to the religious literacy program implemented at the school. Data collection methods include memorization and Qur'an reading tests, observation of reading abilities, and surveys to explore students' perceptions of the importance of religious literacy. The results show that the majority of students still require intensive guidance in reading the Qur'an. In each class, only a few students are able to read the Qur'an and pronounce Arabic correctly, although their fluency is still lacking. Most students are not able to read the Qur'an fluently, and some still struggle to distinguish hijaiyah letters. These findings indicate the need for a systematic and intensive religious literacy program to help students improve their maharah qira'ah skills. Additionally, a more personalized teaching approach is necessary to address the specific challenges students face in reading the Qur'an.

The library management information system for SMP Negeri 2 Solear has been successfully implemented. Purpose of creating this information system is to make it easier for members to see the list of available books and borrow books easily, namely online, and to help admin staff in managing book, member and book borrowing data.

The sacred value of ulos reflects the spirituality of the Batak people. Each ulos establishes a connection between the maker and the recipient. For an individual, ulos is a fabric that warms the body, but for the community, ulos has a symbolic role in various aspects of life. In addition to producing high-quality ulos, the ulos fabric should be kept in a clean and comfortable place, and it should be displayed properly so that visitors may become customers. Ulos is used in various traditional ceremonies as a symbol of identity, a form of respect, a gesture of affection, and a unifying bond.

Abstract. This study specifically examines efforts to integrate Balinese culture and madrasah through digitalization, as well as the challenges and opportunities faced in this integration. There are issues in integrating Balinese culture and madrasahs, such as the influence of global culture that may reduce the interest of the younger generation in local traditions, as well as the digital divide that hinders the spread of information. Additionally, inaccurate information and reduced face-to-face interactions obstruct a deeper understanding of both cultures. The method used in this study is a descriptive qualitative approach with a case study design. The results of this study show that this interactive learning not only deepens students' understanding of intercultural tolerance but also connects local values with religious principles, such as helping one another in Islam. Despite facing challenges like limited digital skills and the technology access gap, digitalization also opens up opportunities for closer intercultural collaboration and wider, more effective information dissemination. Abstrak. Penelitian ini secara khusus menelaah upaya dalam mengintegrasikan budaya Bali dan madrasah melalui digitalisasi serta tantangan dan peluang yang dihadapi dalam mengintegrasikannya. Terdapat problematika dalam mengintegrasikan budaya Bali dan madrasah seperti pengaruh budaya global yang dapat mengurangi minat generasi muda terhadap tradisi lokal, serta kesenjangan akses teknologi yang menghambat penyebaran informasi. Selain itu, informasi yang tidak akurat dan berkurangnya interaksi tatap muka menghalangi pemahaman yang lebih dalam tentang kedua budaya. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini deskriptif kualitatif dengan desain studi kasus. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa pembelajaran interaktif ini tidak hanya memperdalam pemahaman siswa tentang toleransi antarbudaya, tetapi juga menghubungkan nilai-nilai lokal dengan prinsip-prinsip agama, seperti tolong-menolong dalam Islam. Meskipun menghadapi tantangan seperti keterampilan digital yang terbatas dan kesenjangan akses teknologi, digitalisasi juga membuka peluang untuk kolaborasi antarbudaya yang lebih erat serta penyebaran informasi yang lebih luas dan efektif.
