Abstract

This study investigates the role of school libraries in enhancing students’ reading literacy, with a particular focus on the School Literacy Movement (SLM) and the “15 minutes of reading” program at SMPN 31 Padang. Employing a qualitative case study approach, the research explores how library services contribute to reading habituation, the challenges faced, and the strategies applied to foster a literacy culture. Data were collected through observations, interviews, and documentation, and analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings reveal that the school library plays a crucial role not only in providing access to information resources but also in engaging students in sustained reading practices. The study highlights the importance of synergy between the library, teachers, and parents in motivating students to read, while also addressing contemporary challenges such as gadget overuse and limited reading models. In its holistic approach, integrating library-based literacy services with teacher and parental involvement, thereby offering a collaborative model for sustaining students’ reading motivation. These insights reaffirm the library’s position as a literacy hub and provide practical recommendations for strengthening literacy programs in schools.
