Abstract

Village libraries play a vital role in improving public literacy, as mandated by Law Number 43 of 2007 concerning Libraries. However, many village libraries remain poorly managed, including Pelita Hati Library in Nanggerang Jaya Village, Kuningan Regency. This research aims to examine how the village government implements policies related to the Pelita Hati library, identify supporting and inhibiting factors, and find out the efforts made to support the sustainability of the village library operation. This study used a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. Data collection is carried out through interviews, direct observations, and documentation from parties involved in the implementation of the library. The researcher also analyzed the data using the theory of policy implementation put forward by George C. Edwards III. This theory involves several aspects such as communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure. The results of the research show that the implementation of policies related to library administration has been implemented, but it has not been effective. The village government has been quite active in communicating and committing, but there are still obstacles due to limited resources, facilities and infrastructure. On the other hand, the village government has made several efforts, such as socialization to residents, cooperation in literacy activities, and continues to allocate resources and support the management of the library in stages. This study concludes that to maintain the sustainability of village libraries, there is a need for policy support, increased resources, and active involvement from the community.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the management of the Pelita Hati Library as a means of promoting public literacy in NanggerangJaya Village, Mandirancan Subdistrict, Kuningan Regency, as well as to identify the factors that support and hinder such management. This study employs a qualitative approach using descriptive methods. Informants were selected through purposive sampling and consisted of the Village Head of NanggerangJaya and the Manager of the Pelita Hati Library. Data collection was conducted through interviews, observations, and documentation, and the data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive analysis model based on Richard M. Steers’ theory of organizational effectiveness, which encompasses four dimensions: goal attainment, integration, adaptation, and sustainability. The research results indicate that, in terms of goal achievement, the library has organized a number of literacy programs, community participation remains suboptimal due to relatively low reading interest. In terms of integration, there is good communication and cooperation between the village government, the library manager, and the Posyandu Remaja (Youth Health Post) activities. In terms of adaptation, the library still faces constraints related to human resources, space, and budget, yet it continues to strive to maintain its literacy activities. Regarding sustainability, there is a commitment from the village government and library administrators to ensure the library’ continued operation through the establishment of a management board and the allocation of funds. Overall, the Pelita Hati Library has been quite succes activities, but it still requires strengthening of human resources, improvement of facilities, and community participation so that the library’s function as a literacy resource can be optimal in the village.
