<![CDATA[The low level of literacy interest among elementary school students in Indonesia is a significant issue that affects the quality of education. This condition was also identified at SD Negeri Panaikang 1 Makassar, where library management had not been optimized, resulting in limited support for students' reading culture. This community service program aimed to revitalize the school library management system to enhance students' literacy interest through an educational internship program. The program was conducted over seven days using a participatory approach involving the internship team, the principal, teachers, library staff, and students. This approach was implemented through collaborative stages of observation and problem identification, planning the library reorganization, rearranging the library space and book collections, developing a library administration system, establishing reading corners, providing library management socialization for the school community, and jointly evaluating the program outcomes. The results showed that the revitalization of library management successfully created a more organized, comfortable, and functional library environment. The program's success was demonstrated by an increase in students' library visits from 5–10 students per week to 25–35 students per week, as well as an increase in book borrowing from fewer than five books to 15–20 books per week following the reorganization. Therefore, the revitalization of school library management through a participatory approach within an educational internship program proved effective in increasing library utilization and strengthening the literacy culture among elementary school students.]]>
