This study's objective is to explore the role of school library management in enhancing students' academic performance and to identify the barriers to effective library management. It adopts a qualitative research approach, utilizing a case study design. Data was collected through interviews, observations, and document analysis. Data analysis involved three main stages: data reduction, presentation, and drawing conclusions. The findings reveal a lack of professional library management at elementary school Demakan 02 due to the absence of qualified librarians, which has led to the library operating in an ad-hoc manner.
