<![CDATA[The literacy rate in rural areas remains lower than in urban regions. This issue is evident in Dusun VII, Rukti Harjo Village, Seputih Raman, Central Lampung, where community participation in reading and accessing information is still minimal. To address this, a reading corner was established as part of efforts to develop Rukti Harjo into a literacy-oriented village. The initiative used a Participatory Action Research method and was implemented in three stages: preparation, inauguration, and utilization. In the preparation stage, coordination with village officials was conducted, book donation drives were organized, and facilities such as bookshelves and a nameplate were prepared. These efforts resulted in the establishment of Pojok Baca Saraswati, launched with an initial collection of 300 books. The inauguration was marked by a nameplate installation and ribbon cutting ceremony led by the Village Head. In the utilization phase, various literacy activities were conducted, including group reading, discussions, and community empowerment programs. The initiative recommends improving facilities, increasing book collections, and fostering partnerships and cross-sector collaboration to ensure the reading corner's sustainability.]]>
