Library resources, reading interest, School library management, Literacy culture, Qualitative descriptive researchAbstract
In an era of rapid scientific and technological advancement, school libraries are expected to serve as information centers and primary supports for the learning process. Technological progress has expanded students’ access to various sources of information, making the role of libraries increasingly strategic in enhancing learning quality and fostering students’ reading interest. Nevertheless, many school libraries, including the library of MA YPP Jamanis, still face various limitations in providing adequate services and resources. This study aims to analyze the influence of library resource availability on students’ reading interest at MA YPP Jamanis. A descriptive qualitative method was employed, utilizing observation, interview, and documentation techniques. Data were collected directly at the research site to obtain a factual depiction of the library’s condition. The findings indicate that the library at MA YPP Jamanis remains in a less optimal state. Limitations in collection quality and ineffective management contribute to low reading interest among students, as reflected in the minimal frequency of visits and book borrowings. Therefore, efforts to reorganize resources, improve the quality of collections, and develop digital-based services are required to strengthen students’ literacy culture in a sustainable manner
