Abstract
This research discusses the efforts to develop a child-friendly library through library revitalization at SDN 01 Planjan in increasing students' interest in literacy. Literacy is a crucial aspect in educational development, affecting students' understanding and ability to read and write. The main purpose of this study is to analyze how the development of a child-friendly library through library revitalization can influence students' literacy interest. The research method used is qualitative research with an ABCD (Asset Based Community Development) approach. Data were collected through observation, interviews and analysis of related documents. The data were analyzed using a qualitative descriptive approach. The results showed that creating a child-friendly library through library revitalization has a positive impact on students' literacy interest at SDN 1 Planjan. The rearrangement of the library, the addition of picture storybooks and the improvement of other supporting facilities, such as comfortable seating areas and adequate lighting, encourage students to read more actively and spend time in the library. However, some obstacles were found in the library revitalization process, such as limited human resources. Nonetheless, this study provides recommendations for schools and related parties to increase support in revitalizing the library, including more effective management and adequate allocation of funds. This research has important implications for the world of education in an effort to increase students' interest in literacy through library revitalization.
