Libraries play a crucial role in broadening the public's knowledge horizons by improving literacy skills. However, the reality at the Samaturu Library in Jambu Malea Village shows that manual management still dominates, leading to various administrative obstacles such as data irregularities, the risk of losing important information, and inefficiencies in tracking daily activities. This condition demands digital transformation to optimize public services at the village level comprehensively and sustainably. This research focuses on the development of a web-based library information system specifically designed to modernize administrative processes to be more systematic, fast, and organized. Built using the PHP programming language and MySQL database, this platform offers an intuitive interface for both staff and members. Its superior features include book data management, membership, activity agendas, announcements, and digitizing the borrowing and return process. Furthermore, the system is capable of automatically generating periodic reports to facilitate library performance evaluation. Based on the results of comprehensive testing using the Black Box Testing method, all system functionality was proven to operate optimally according to the required specifications. Direct user trials also showed very positive responses regarding aspects of ease of navigation and operational time efficiency. The implementation of this system is expected to improve the effectiveness of internal management, accelerate the quality of services to library users, and become a major catalyst in realizing superior digital literacy governance in rural areas

The formation of Islamic character and environmental awareness is an integral part of the national education goals which are oriented towards developing the personality of students as a whole. In rural schools, such as the free school in Karang Anyar Village, limited learning facilities often become a challenge in implementing character education based on Islamic and environmental values. This study aims to analyze efforts to strengthen Islamic character and environmental awareness through the use of school libraries and family medicinal plant (TOGA) planting activities as contextual learning tools. The research used a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through observation, interviews, and documentation during the real work lecture (KKN) program. Data analysis is carried out through a process of reduction, presentation, and drawing conclusions in order to obtain an in-depth picture of the effectiveness of the activity. The results of the study show that literacy activities in the library are able to increase reading interest, Islamic insight, and the habituation of religious attitudes among students. Meanwhile, TOGA activities contribute to the formation of attitudes of responsibility, mutual cooperation, and concern for the school environment. The synergy between these two activities has proven effective in strengthening Islamic character values ​​and environmental awareness, as well as creating a school culture that is religious, productive, and ecologically aware. 

This community service activity aims to improve the literacy of residents in Penambangan Village through the implementation of a QR Code-based digital library at the Educational Center. The background of this program lies in the low level of literacy in rural areas, which is strongly influenced by the limited access to reading materials and the absence of library facilities. In the current digital era, the need for fast, easy, and affordable access to information has become increasingly important. Therefore, the application of simple technology such as QR Codes is considered an innovative solution to bridge the literacy gap between rural and urban communities. The method used in this activity was Participatory Action Research (PAR), which emphasizes active involvement of the community. The stages of the program consisted of initial observation to identify literacy needs, collaborative planning with local residents, implementation of the QR Code-based digital library, and reflection to evaluate achievements and challenges. This method ensured that the community was not only an object but also an active subject in the process of improving literacy. The results show an increase in reading interest and access to digital literacy, especially among young people. QR Codes installed at several strategic points enabled residents to access various digital reading resources using smartphones. Nevertheless, some obstacles were identified, including limited internet infrastructure and low digital literacy among the older population. Despite these challenges, the program successfully demonstrated that simple, technology-based approaches can significantly enhance literacy in rural areas. In conclusion, the implementation of a QR Code-based digital library supported by a PAR approach can serve as an effective alternative to increase literacy in rural communities. The success of the program strongly depends on collaboration among local residents, academics, and stakeholders to ensure its sustainability in the long term.

Campuranom Village is located in Bansari District, Temanggung Regency, where the majority of the population are farmers. As a result, literacy and formal education for children are often overlooked. This article aims to explore the potential of library revitalization as a literacy facility for children in Campuranom Village. By combining theoretical and empirical analysis, this study employs the Participatory Action Research (PAR) method. The results indicate that the revitalization of the Campuranom Village Library was carried out through physical improvements, literacy program socialization, and evaluation. Physical improvements included cleaning the library, organizing books through labeling and categorization, and creating a reading corner to attract children's interest. Socialization was conducted to reintroduce the library’s function to the community, particularly schoolchildren. Evaluation was conducted at each stage to ensure the program’s effectiveness. As a result, children's visits to the library increased to 5-10 visitors per day, demonstrating a rise in reading interest. However, some challenges remain, such as poor ventilation making the library uncomfortably hot and its location on the second floor, which makes access difficult. Overall, the revitalization successfully enhanced the library’s appeal, though further improvements are needed in comfort and accessibility.

Reading room has an important role in the library. In the reading room, users spend a long time to fulfill their information needs. Every user who comes to the library will feel at home in the library if the room is adequate and has a comfortable atmosphere.

The low interest in reading has hampered intellectual abilities in society, especially students, so that libraries are required to be able to keep up with the pace of development of the times with services and infrastructure that meet the needs of space users, but the FBS UNP library has not been optimal in terms of interior design standards. Student complaints such as unstable air circulation, lack of reading space, and incomplete facilities have caused inconvenience, so an interior design of the FBS UNP Library was held with a minimalist concept. The purpose of interior design is to design a library layout that is representative and in accordance with interior design standards in order to create a sense of security and comfort for visitors while in the room. The interior design of the FBS UNP Library refers to the application of library interior design standards in the form of space, variety, hierarchy, lighting, personal areas, and comfort.

Data collection is done by way of interviews, observation and documentation. Works are presented in the form of an Artwork Report with the main works being Presentation Mockups, Animation Videos and Presentation Posters.

The interior design plays a very important role in today's modern era of modernization. It is evident that the beauty of a space greatly influences people's work activities and performance within it. A library, as a storehouse of knowledge, should consider the aesthetics of the space to allow patrons to work, learn, and create more freely in the library to meet their information needs, which will ultimately impact the patrons' loyalty to the library. The Provincial Archives and Library Service of West Sumatra still appears to be lacking in terms of aesthetics, furniture arrangement, noise levels, and the utilization of space, which is a significant concern for the library to make it more appealing to patrons as a place to seek information.
