Improving the quality of human resources is one of the indicators of national growth and development. Villages as the smallest government units play an important role in these efforts. One of the efforts that can be made is through the habituation of literacy culture. The existence of a village library is the beginning of the empowerment stage of literacy culture for the community. This community service work program aims to improve the literacy culture of the Salamrejo Village community and maximize the use of library space as a center for community activities. The methods used to implement the work program include arranging the library space, procuring new books, inventorying, and socializing.

Through the habituation of literacy culture and joint discussions in the village library reading corner, the community can also develop critical thinking skills and more and have better abilities in individual and collective decision making.
