<![CDATA[Many non-formal education communities in Indonesia face problems in maintaining the sustainability of their reading houses, such as limited resources, lack of external support, and weak social networks. In the midst of these conditions, the Creavill Bandung Community was able to maintain the sustainability of its reading house. This study aims to analyze the mechanism of social capital utilization by the Creavill Bandung Community in maintaining the sustainability of the Reading House using the framework of Robert D. Putnam's social capital theory. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study method, where data collection is carried out through semi-structured in-depth interviews with 11 purposively selected informants, complemented by observation of moderate participants, and documentation studies. Data is analyzed through data reduction, data presentation, and verification and conclusion drawn. The results of the study show that the use of social capital takes place gradually through three components: unwritten norms in the form of professionalism instilled through habituation; internal trust through a kinship approach as well as external trust in the community and collaboration partners; and social networks through community programs and digital media. These three components strengthen each other and form the foundation for the sustainability of community reading house management.]]>
