This community service activity aims to foster a literacy culture for SDN 091700 Hubuan students through assistance in making reading corners, getting used to reading 15 minutes before learning takes place, creating a text-rich environment so that students get used to reading. The stages of implementing this community service activity are as follows: (1) Field observation stage, (2) Activities socialization stage, (3) Mentoring stage. The results and reports of these community service activities will be published in local journals.

To support a literacy culture, schools must have adequate facilities and infrastructure, especially the procurement of books in the library. The problems at SDN Negeri 091700 Hubuan include the absence of a library and a lack of books so that students rarely read at school. Students only read the textbook lessons when learning takes place. So that literacy activities become taboo
