Abstract

School  libraries  play  a  vital role  in  enhancing learners'  basic  literacy  in  primary schools by creating interactive reading corners that provide engaging environments, diverse book collections, and integrated literacy activities, such as storytelling and educational films, thereby encouraging active participation and improving motivation and literacy skills. This study aims to explore the effectiveness of the interactive reading corner  programme  in  improving  learners'  basic  literacy  skills  at  SD  Negeri  2 Kayuambon. Using a qualitative approach and descriptive methods, the study involved 38  learners  to  observe  their  interest  in  reading,  engagement  in  the  storytelling programme and utilisation of smartboard technology. Despite challenges such as low reading  interest  and  difficulty  focusing,  the  library's  efforts  to  update  the  reading collection and foster an engaging learning environment had a positive impact. Reading interest increased by 15%, and 89% of learners were actively engaged through the use of smartboards. These findings  highlight the  need for  innovative and collaborative strategies between teachers and librarians to optimise literacy development and support learners' academic success.
