Keywords:
Library management, Literacy, Reading interest, Vocational school, Educational facilitiesAbstract
The school library should be an active learning resource center that supports the educational process. However, at SMK Miftahul Ulum Cimerak, the utilization of the library is still not optimal. This is due to various obstacles that affect the overall function and services of the library. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques in the form of observation, interviews, and documentation. The research was conducted in April 2025 at SMK Miftahul Ulum Cimerak. The analysis results show that there are four main obstacles in library management, namely: (1) the absence of dedicated staff responsible for daily operations; (2) limited and irrelevant book collections; (3) inadequate library facilities; and (4) low student reading interest due to a lack of literacy programs and library promotions. Library management at SMK Miftahul Ulum Cimerak requires serious attention from various parties to improve the quality of services, including enhancing resources.
