<![CDATA[The digital era has brought about an information explosion phenomenon that fundamentally alters the paradigm of higher education libraries. Students' expectations for instant, “all clicks” services have driven a decline in physical visits, particularly in conventional libraries that still rely on a system-centered approach and are textually stigmatized as rigid “book warehouses.” This article aims to examine the existential challenges faced by libraries in the digital age and formulate strategies for revitalizing library functions to enhance student reading interest. Using a descriptive-conceptual analysis method, this study proposes three pillars of revitalization strategy: (1) technological infrastructure revitalization toward a hybrid library based on automation systems (such as SLiMS and OPAC) and online databases; (2) spatial revitalization transforming physical spaces into more humanistic, aesthetic, and collaborative environments (the third place); and (3) human resource revitalization by repositioning librarians as knowledge workers proficient in structured literacy models (such as The Big6 or The Seven Pillars). The analysis demonstrates that the implementation of this multidimensional revitalization significantly accelerates information retrieval systems, eliminates reference access barriers, and stimulates students' intellectual curiosity. Through synergistic literacy programs, reading activities are successfully internalized as an integral part of sustainable academic lifestyles and needs, while reaffirming the library's position as the dynamic heart of higher education.]]>
