<![CDATA[Abstract: Reading interest among students is still relatively low, as evidenced by the library program being positioned merely as a complement and not being empowered or made effective. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the library program in increasing students’ reading interest at MI Plus Nur Rahma, Bengkulu City. It uses a descriptive qualitative method with the CIPP evaluation model approach (context, input, process, and product). Data collection techniques include observation, interviews, and documentation. The results of the study show that the contextual aspect of the library program emerged as a response to students’ low literacy culture and the need to strengthen reading habits within the school environment. In terms of program input, the school has provided basic facilities such as a library room and a book collection, and has involved teachers and librarians, although the number and variety of books are still limited and the human resources need improved competencies. In the program process aspect, the implementation has been carried out regularly and in a structured manner through various literacy activities, although coordination and evaluation are still not optimal. Meanwhile, in the product aspect, the program has shown results in the form of increased reading frequency and students’ enthusiasm for literacy activities, although the improvement is not evenly distributed across all classes. Thus, the library program can enhance students’ reading interest. Therefore, it is recommended that to further improve students’ reading interest, the evaluation of the library program in the madrasa should be strengthened.Keywords: Library Program Evaluation, Students’ Reading Interest.Abstrak: Minat baca dikalangan siswa masih tergolong rendah terlihat program perpustakaan masih diposisikan sebagai pelengkap dan tidak diberdayakan serta tidak berdaya guna.
