The Low reading interest among elementary school students remains a problem encountered in various rural areas, including at SD Negeri 30 OKU in Batumarta 1 Village, Lubuk Raja District, Ogan Komering Ulu Regency. The limited availability of attractive and easily accessible literacy resources is one of the contributing factors to low student reading habits. This Community Service (PKM) activity aims to increase student reading interest by providing comfortable, educational, and child-friendly reading corners. The implementation method includes initial observation, providing and arranging reading corners, providing age-appropriate reading books, and mentoring and socializing the use of reading corners to students and teachers. The provision of reading corners is carried out through community service activities by university teams or volunteers, by providing bookshelves, various types of story books, children's encyclopedias, and interactive reading materials. To demonstrate the benefits of reading corners, comfort zone arrangements, regular reading schedules, and various literacy games are implemented to increase student engagement. The results of the activity show an increase in student interest in reading activities, as seen from the increased frequency of student visits to the reading corners and active participation in independent reading activities. In addition, teachers also feel the benefits of reading corners as a supporting tool for the learning process. Thus, providing a reading corner can be a simple but effective solution in fostering a culture of literacy and increasing the reading interest of elementary school students in the school environment.

This study has two main objectives, namely (1) to identify various difficulties experienced by students in reading activities in class III of MI Al-Barokah, and (2) to analyze the application of puzzle media as an alternative solution to overcome these difficulties. The research approach used is qualitative with a case study method. Data collection was carried out through observation, interviews, and documentation of teaching and learning activities. Data analysis followed the Miles and Huberman model, which includes the stages of data collection, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results showed that third-grade students at MI Al-Barokah still faced various obstacles in reading, including spelling letters one by one, needing the teacher's help when pronouncing words, difficulty distinguishing certain letters, often repeating words or sentences, and not being able to read fluently overall.

This study aims to explain the level of student interest and various aspects that influence their interest in reading poetry among students of the Department of Indonesian Language and Literature Education, Lambung Mangkurat University (ULM) class of 2024. The research focuses on how students interpret poetry, factors that encourage and inhibit reading interest, and the role of the academic environment in shaping literary appreciation, especially poetry.

Some students consider poetry to be beautiful and meaningful works, thus helping them to reflect on themselves and increase their interest in reading. However, others find it difficult to understand the implied meaning in poetry and consider poetry a complicated and less interesting genre. Factors that encourage interest in reading poetry include the active role of lecturers in presenting interesting poetry material, campus literary activities such as poetry readings and competitions, and the existence of student communities that focus on writing and literary appreciation. Meanwhile, obstacles found include limited literacy facilities such as reading rooms and poetry book collections, low student personal motivation, and the dominance of digital media which is more practical and entertaining than printed literary works. This research emphasizes the importance of creative learning strategies and support for campus activities to revitalize the culture of reading poetry so that literary appreciation can develop more optimally.

This community service activity was motivated by the need for an efficient and structured library management system at MI Hidayatul Ulum. Previously, book recording, borrowing, and reporting were done manually, creating administrative challenges and limiting access to information for students and teachers. To address these challenges, the community service team implemented a web-based library information system designed to simplify collection management, facilitate book searches, and expedite the borrowing and return process. The implementation method included partner needs analysis, system design and installation, training for staff and teachers, and evaluation of implementation results. The system was designed to be accessible through the school's local network with a simple and user-friendly interface. Training was provided to ensure the school was able to utilize and manage the system independently. The results showed that the implementation of this information system improved library management efficiency and expanded user access to information. Teachers could more easily monitor book collections, while students found it easier to search for and borrow books. Furthermore, the system accelerated administrative processes and reduced the risk of recording errors. Another positive impact was the growth of a technology-based literacy culture within the madrasah. With the availability of faster book search and borrowing services, students' interest in reading increased. A participatory approach involving schools from the planning stage through evaluation ensures that the resulting solutions meet needs and can be implemented sustainably. This community service activity is expected to serve as a model for implementing simple technology that has a real impact on improving the quality of basic education services.

The aim of this research is to find out how the role of e-commerce increases opportunities for MSMEs in Indonesia. The method used in this research is a qualitative approach with literature study as the main data source. We carried out the data collection process by searching literature with the keyword "The role of e-commerce in Indonesian MSMEs." on the Google Scholar platform. The results show that e-commerce has made a significant contribution to the MSME players themselves. The role of e-commerce has also increased since the COVID-19 pandemic, which at that time became the main solution for MSMEs to survive amidst the crisis caused by restrictions on physical activity. With e-commerce integrated with social media, MSMEs can still operate and maintain income because they are able to adapt to changes in market behavior. However, this research also identified several main challenges, one of which is the low interest in reading which causes a lack of digital literacy among MSME players. Therefore, technology training, digital infrastructure development, and policies that support the empowerment of MSMEs in the digital era are needed. By conducting this research, of course there is hope that strategic steps can be formulated to maximize the potential of e-commerce, not only in expanding market access on a global scale, but also being able to increase the global competitiveness of MSMEs in a sustainable manner.

The aim of this research is to describe the reading interest of fifth-grade students at SD 101776 Sampali, identify the contributing factors, and seek solutions to improve it. The subjects of this study are the fifth-grade students of SD Negeri 101776 Sampali. The research employs a descriptive qualitative method. Data collection techniques include interviews and questionnaires to ensure objective data gathering. Based on observations and interviews with the fifth-grade teacher at SD Negeri 101776 Sampali, supported by distributing questionnaires to the students, it was found that students show little enthusiasm for reading and seldom seek out answers on their own.

Typically, students are required to read materials related to their school subjects and are pressured by upcoming exams. This leads to a situation where students view reading as a means to achieve grades rather than for enjoyment.
