Abstract

The lack of interest in reading is not attributed to the scarcity of reading materials, but rather to the absence of a communal inclination towards reading activities. Many public libraries or reading parks remain underutilized by the community. A well-devised strategy for community reading parks is imperative to stimulate and expedite the realization of a society focused on learning. One feasible approach is involving the community. This study aims to determine the community engagement strategy, encompassing planning, implementation, outcomes, and influencing factors. Employing a descriptive qualitative method, the research enlisted three managers from the Cibungur Reading Community Park, five members from the local community, and two community leaders as participants. Data was procured through interviews, observation, and library research. Data analysis involves data reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicated that: 1) planning is executed through needs identification and program drafting involving the community, 2) program implementation adheres to scheduled activities that reflect community priorities, needs, and environmental conditions, 3) outcomes manifest as an enhanced quality of life, and those who recognize the advantages of reading influence others yet to embrace active reading, 4) barriers include certain communities not lending support, while enthusiastic management, community participation, and robust stakeholder backing constitute supporting factors for Cibungur Community Reading Park's activities.
