Overall the teacher has tried to carry out his role as a facilitator in fostering students' interest in reading. The teacher's obstacle acts as a facilitator in fostering students' interest in reading, namely the lack of interest in reading in students, which originates from the students' ability to read and understand the meaning contained in the reading. Then the teacher also has problems in providing learning facilities, where the role of the library is not maximized and there are limited books or other reading materials. The solution to dealing with the obstacles faced by teachers is to create activities that can increase students' interest in reading and make a group schedule to visit the library. In addition, the teacher also applies learning methods and media that aim to build a conducive classroom atmosphere.]]>
