Abstract

Papua still faces significant literacy challenges, and Community reading parks (TBMs), such as Rumah Kata Sorong (RKS), play a vital role in addressing these challenges by promoting literacy and fostering a reading culture. However, there is a lack of specific research on TBMs in Papua. Thus, a SWOT analysis of RKS is essential to develop strategic recommendations for its growth and improved impact on local literacy. This study uses a descriptive-analytical qualitative approach to explore Rumah Kata Sorong, focusing on its founder and volunteers, and aims to develop strategic recommendations to strengthen TBMs and enhance community literacy. Rumah Kata Sorong stands out among community reading parks with its curated book collection, diverse facilities, and community-driven initiatives like reading clubs and literary workshops, while also facing challenges such as limited volunteers and financial sustainability. In conclusion, RKS distinguishes itself by offering a unique collection of books, fostering reading communities, and addressing challenges such as limited management and volunteer support. The study contributes by providing a replicable model for strengthening TBMs in other regions, and by expanding the understanding of community-based literacy development in areas like Papua. Future research could explore the program's impact through quantitative analysis of community involvement and outcomes.

Abstract

Indonesia, as a multicultural country with a wide diversity of cultures, religions, and ethnicities, emphasizes the importance of promoting inclusivity and preserving local identity through education. This study aims to evaluate the suitability of multicultural themes and representations of West Javanese cultural contexts in 1,000 books donated by the National Library to 10,000 community reading parks in 2024. This study is a qualitative descriptive study using the content analysis method. The population in this study was books obtained from Librarians at the National Library, while the sample was selected using a purposive sampling technique, which came from 1000 books with a multicultural context and representation of the West Java cultural context. Data collection techniques include observation, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis techniques were carried out using content analysis. The results showed that 35.19% of the books evaluated discussed multicultural themes. This theme was more common at the intermediate and advanced reader levels (B3 and C) than at the beginner level (A). Books specifically themed around West Java only represented 4.81% of the collection, highlighting the limitations of local cultural narratives. This study concludes that there is great potential to strengthen regional identity, foster pride in cultural heritage, and provide insight into traditional values through the provision of books on cultural heritage.
