<![CDATA[The quality of administrative and library services determines the success of education, but staff limitations are often a major obstacle in the digitalization process. This study focuses on analyzing the implementation of student intern collaboration in assisting with administrative tasks and library inventory at SMP Negeri 1 Kendari. Using a qualitative descriptive method, the internship lasted four full months from September 2025 to February 2026. The research stages included preparation, orientation, technical staff assistance, and evaluation of the school's daily operational activities. The research findings indicate that the presence of students significantly accelerated the digitization of book collections through a barcode system and digital application input, as well as optimizing the work rhythm of correspondence and personnel administration. In addition, students contributed to special school services such as guest management and the distribution of the Free Nutritious Meal program, which became significantly more organized. The results of this implementation demonstrated a significant increase in work efficiency, data accuracy, and orderly filing of school documents. The main conclusion confirms that the collaboration between student interns and the school creates a strategic synergy that not only strengthens the operational capacity of the educational institution but also provides contextual professional experience for students. This program is very effective in transforming manual work systems into more structured ones in order to realize superior and sustainable quality of education services for the entire community through direct implementation of academic policies and strengthening library management.
