This study aims to analyze the role of library facilities and infrastructure management in improving educational services at SMKN 1 Sangatta Utara. In improving the quality of educational services, the existence of a well-managed library as a center for information and literacy resources is important, which supports the teaching and learning process in schools. Good management of facilities and infrastructure in the library can increase interest in visits and create a conducive learning atmosphere, which ultimately contributes to improving the quality of education. This study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive design, which collects data through observation, interviews, and documentation at SMKN 1 Sangatta Utara. The results of the study indicate that library facilities and infrastructure management has a very important role in improving the quality of educational services in schools. Efforts made by the library to improve educational services include developing book collections that are relevant to curriculum needs and student interests as well as improving facilities and the quality of library staff. Library management involves the stages of planning, organizing, developing human resources, leadership, controlling, and maintenance to maintain smooth library management and improve the quality of services provided to students. Overall, systematic and student-oriented management has the potential to increase the role of the library as an effective and efficient learning center in supporting the educational process in schools

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. This information system has two views, namely the user page and the admin page. On the user page, users can register as library members, see available books, and can borrow the books they want. On the admin page, the admin can add, subtract and manage book data, view members' borrowing history, and can see the number of books available. This application was created using PHP and MySQL programming languages, the writing method used was System Development Life Cycle (SDLC), system design used Unified Modeling Language (UML), and system display design used Dia Diagram. It is hoped that with this information system users and admins can access the system anywhere and anytime via the internet. And users don't need to come to the library just to see the availability of the books they want to borrow. Apart from that, admin work can be lighter without taking notes manually.

The development of information technology in the digital era has significantly impacted various sectors, including libraries in educational institutions. This study focuses on the analysis and design of a web-based library information system at SMK Yapermas Jakarta, utilizing the Waterfall software development methodology. The Waterfall model was chosen for its systematic structure, ranging from requirements analysis to system maintenance. Currently, the library management at SMK Yapermas is still manual, leading to several issues such as slow book searching, borrowing, returning processes, and potential data errors. The objective of this study is to design a system that enhances library service efficiency. The research findings indicate that the web-based system significantly improves the efficiency and quality of services, with excellent ratings in various development stages, such as requirement analysis (81% - 88%) and system testing (81% - 86%). Therefore, the web-based library is expected to provide a more effective solution for library management at SMK Yapermas Jakarta and other schools.

Noise in libraries can disrupt the concentration and comfort of visitors who are reading or studying. Therefore, a tool is needed to detect noise and automatically issue warnings to maintain silence in the library environment. This research aims to design and develop a noise detection tool in libraries using Internet of Things (IoT) technology. The device consists of a sound sensor that detects noise levels and sends data to a cloud-based server for analysis. When the noise level exceeds a specified threshold, the tool provides warnings through visual indicators and notifications to the library staff. The prototype was tested in a library environment and was able to detect noise accurately and issue real-time alerts. The results showed that the device effectively reduced noise levels and improved the comfort of library visitors. With the implementation of IoT technology, this system can be accessed and monitored remotely, facilitating library management in maintaining a conducive environment.

Community Service (PkM) is a program carried out by FKIP students at HKBP Nommensen University, Medan. Community Service Activities are based on Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 20 of 2003 concerning the National Education System in Article 20 Paragraph 2 which states that: "Universities are obliged to provide education, research and community service". This Community Service activity focuses on increasing students' awareness and participation in literacy activities. Community Service Activities are a form of contribution from universities in improving the quality of education in society by using an implementation method, namely the direct observation method. By involving students and teaching staff, this activity can have a significant positive impact on literacy development and library management at SMA Negeri 2 Lubuk Pakam. The results of the implementation by considering students' literacy conditions, the role of libraries, the importance of community service activities, increasing awareness and participation of students in literacy activities in library management at SMA Negeri 2 Lubuk Pakam are a strategic and useful initiative to improve the quality of education at the secondary school level above.
