Purpose :
The library development based on social inclusion is one of the strategies to increase the productivity of rural communities in a sustainable manner. The Information and Library Department of Universitas Airlangga Indonesia has carried out this program through community service in Kediri and Jombang district, East Java, Indonesia. Libraries based on social inclusion are library facilities to improve the quality of social life. Also develop social potential through cultural diversity, ethnicity, language, race, initiatives, and cultural and human rights efforts. The objectives of this program are to maximize the function of the library as a place to find sources of long life information, to improve information literacy for rural communities, and as our responsibility as practitioners and academics to develop the village library more optimally through a community resource approach.
Methodology :
The program methods using six stages in this program is, 1) planning activities; 2) building library rooms; 3) providing library collections; 4) socializing activities to rural communities; 5) training in village library management, and 6) evaluating activities. These program was carried out in two districts in East Java, Indonesia, namely Purwoasri Village in Kediri district and Ngrimbi Village in Jombang district. The implementation of this program was carried out by 10 lecturers from the Information and Library Department of Airlangga University and was attended by 25 people from each of the villages. To assess the success of the program we use post tests after the program is implemented. It is hoped that this method will increase the knowledge and skills of managers and rural communities.
Result :
In Ngrimbi Village, this pro gram was smoothly and received appreciation from all levels of society, this can be seen from the increasing borrowing of library collections and development of library activities, other than that from a manager's perspective, they can be more skilled in managing libraries, while in Purwoasri village this program was less than optimal due to their lack of interest in library collections and the absence in activities of library development. In 2022, we will follow up on the community's response to this program through activities at the Village Library. This is done to monitor the progress of the program until it runs according to the specified parameters.
Implication and originality :
The implication of this program are divided into two, namely practical and theoretical. Practically, this activity benefits the community and library managers. For the community, this activity increases knowledge through reading sources in the library. The knowledge that comes from reading material and used to increase productivity and develop self potential such as gardening procedures, becoming a successful farmer, easy ways to raise livestock, self employment, as well as drawing, embroidering, explaining, sewing, etc. For the managers of this activity, they have increased under standing in managing libraries based on social inclusion, besides that they have also experienced an increase skills in managing simple libraries, such as managing main books and making simple classifications. The theoretical value for this study is that i t is expected to be an example for librarianship in building and managing a library based on social inclusion by looking at the factors that hinder and support effective reading resource. Research and programs related to the development of village libraries social inclusion are rarely carried out, therefore it is urgent to do.
