IMPLEMENTASI GERAKAN LITERASI MELALUI PERPUSTAKAAN KELILING DALAM MENINGKATKAN MINAT BACA SISWA SEKOLAH DASAR DI DESA KARANGMUNCANG

Abstract

In this digital era, the interest in reading has become quite rare. Increasing interest in reading is important to pursue. Elementary school students still have low literacy movement due to a lack of interest in reading among students at school, limited availability of reading materials, and insufficient support from teachers in fostering students' reading interest. Research conducted by the Progress in International Reading Literacy Studies (PIRLS) shows that Indonesia ranks 45th out of 48 countries studied in the reading category. This indicates that the reading skills of Indonesian students are still very low. Literacy activities presented in an engaging and enjoyable way can encourage students to be more motivated in reading and learning. The mobile library, or Pusling, serves as a library unit that provides reading services in various locations. This activity is designed to support the reading culture program in the community as well as the School Literacy Movement (GLS). Through the mobile library, students can gain new knowledge, more easily find reading materials that match their interests, and choose books while chatting with friends. Students can become more motivated to read and learn if literacy activities are conducted in an engaging and enjoyable manner.
