The low literacy culture of children in Biak Numfor Regency is still a challenge in human resource development, even though the government has developed the Reading House Program as a means of non-formal education. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Reading House Program in improving children's literacy in Biak Numfor Regency. The research uses a qualitative descriptive approach with a pragmatic approach. The research locations include the Ambroben Reading House, the Victory Reading House, and the Kobeoser Reading House. Informants were selected purposively, consisting of officials from the Education and Culture Office, Reading House managers, teachers, parents, and children who use the Reading House. Data was collected through in-depth interviews, observations, documentation, and document review, then analyzed using interactive models through data reduction, data presentation, conclusion drawn, and qualitizing techniques. The results of the study show that the implementation of the Reading House Program has not been running optimally. The main obstacles include weak communication between institutions, limited reading collections and facilities, lack of optimal use of human resources, low bureaucratic commitment in strengthening literacy culture, and lack of a collaborative structure that integrates schools, families, and literacy communities.
