INTRODUCTION
Education is a strategic investment in human resource development, which serves as a transformative force that equips individuals with the competencies needed to thrive in an increasingly complex and competitive world.
As mandated in Law Number 20 of 2003 Article I Paragraph 1, education is a conscious and planned process designed to foster an environment where students can actively develop their intellectual, moral, spiritual, and practical capacities.
In this context, education is not simply a process of knowledge transmission, but a holistic effort to form individuals who possess critical thinking, ethical integrity, emotional intelligence, and adaptive skills.
The urgency of quality education is becoming increasingly evident given the global demands that require innovation, resilience, and intercultural competence.
Without a solid foundation for education, the risk of stagnation and marginalization increases, both at the individual and societal levels.
Therefore, improving the quality of education is not an option, but a must.
One of the components that is often underutilized but very strategic in this effort is the school library.
Far beyond bookshelves, school libraries serve as dynamic learning hubs that support inquiry-based learning, literacy development, and independent thinking especially at the elementary level, where basic cognitive and affective skills are formed (Pancheshnikov, 2014.
Sin, 2.
Thus, reorganizing and strengthening school library management is an important step in advancing the goals of national education and broader human development (Sargent et al.
, 2.
According to the law that governs libraries, it is explained that a library is an institution that skillfully manages various kinds of works including writing, printing, or recording, using standardized rules.
It aims to meet the needs in various fields such as education, research, preservation, information, and entertainment for visitors.
Then, according to research conducted by Wine et al.
, libraries have an important role as an .

environment where children can grow up to be insightful individuals and love to read to realize the tradition of reading from an early age.
Especially for children in primary school .
ges 6-.
, this phase is considered a crucial stage in their intellectual development, where they tend to accept new knowledge quickly and form new habits.
School libraries have a crucial role in supporting the development of educational literacy among students.
According to the Ministry of Education and Culture (Kemendikbu.
in 2016, literacy is defined as the skill to access, understand, and apply information wisely through various activities such as reading, observing, listening, writing and communicating.
According to Begum et al.
, reading literacy is a personal skill to understand, use, and think about written texts with the aim of achieving life goals, as well as to increase self-knowledge and opportunities.
Meanwhile , the meaning of educative in the Great Dictionary of the Indonesian Language (KBBI), means to educate or related to education.
However, according to Marmoah et al.
Indonesia is ranked second lowest in terms of world literacy, indicating a low level of interest in reading and literacy.
UNESCO indicates that Indonesia's love of reading and literacy is very low, reaching only 0.
001%, which means that out of 1000 Indonesians, only 1 person shows interest in reading.
According to Asmayawati et al.
, the small interest in reading in Indonesia is influenced by several factors, with the existence of various types of entertainment, games, and television shows that are less educational.
Furthermore, many television programs tend to distract from reading activities that have the potential to degrade children's literacy culture.
For Indonesians who have a low level of functional literacy, the government has the goal of improving the quality of reading activities beyond the basic level.
In this context, reading will obtain information that supports people in living their daily lives and work, in accordance with the views conveyed by Sikora et al.
Therefore, to improve literacy culture, especially in the school environment, one form of habituation that can be done is to provide a library equipped with adequate facilities.
Although it is known that many schools have school libraries, many of them are not well managed which has an impact on students' interest in visiting has not experienced a significant increase in the aspect of nurturing children's literacy talents.
This management includes presenting a diversity of book collections and other media support (Chyne et al.
, 2023.
Sachdeva & Tripathi, 2.
In fact, the presence of school libraries is believed to be a strategic step to improve the literacy situation in Indonesia, teach the importance of reading, and encourage interest in reading among children.
Along with the development of education and the increasingly complex demands for literacy, the transformation of school libraries into educational literacy-based learning centers is an urgent challenge (Archambault et al.
, 2024.
Urmston.
The transformation of school libraries involves not only the provision of written materials and other resources, but also includes strategic changes in the management and utilization of libraries as learning centers (Smith & Magnani, 2019.
Wilkie et al.
, 2.
this context, library managerial is key to ensuring libraries are not only a provider of School Library Administration Management Towards a Literacy.

books, but also as a dynamic and relevant learning alternative.
The role of managerial supervision in library management is becoming increasingly important considering the change in the concept of school libraries which are increasingly oriented towards educational literacy.
School library modernization refers to efforts to update and improve library systems, services, and resources to match technological developments and contemporary educational demands (Sarroub & Schroeder, 2023.
Wendt & Rockinson-Szapkiw, 2.
This involves the application of information technology, changes in the design of spaces, the development of collections, and the improvement of services so that libraries can be more efficient, relevant, and support learning.
An effective school library plays a central role in supporting the learning process and literacy development among students.
According to Bartoovy et al.
, school library transformation refers to a series of changes and adaptations made in school libraries to keep up with the times, technology, and educational needs.
This transformation process aims to increase the relevance, efficiency, and positive impact of school libraries on student learning and development.
Library managerial supervision is an approach that focuses on the management aspect of library management.
The main goal of library managerial supervision is to improve the operational effectiveness and overall performance of the library.
This involves supervision and guidance on managerial tasks, strategic planning, and decision-making made by library staff or managers.
Library managerial supervision can also involve aspects of leadership, communication, and coaching to create a productive and collaborative work environment within the library (Gerrity, 2018.
Sadler & Zeidler.
School library administration is essentially a process that aims to maximize individual contributions, material resources, and budget plans in order to achieve library In this context, library management is described as an effort to manage libraries based on the principles and theories of management of library administration and supervision of library services.
In the school environment, it can be seen that the focus of library management is more on empowering and encouraging human resources, while administration emphasizes practical aspects such as curriculum, equipment, school finances, and other routine tasks, while the supervision of services aims to supervise the productivity of library services.
Several previous researchers have focused attention on certain aspects related to the transformation of school libraries.
For example, some researchers focus on library management in supporting the digital literacy movement (Supriati, 2.
Library transformation strategies based on social inclusion.
Library transformation as a means of overcoming information access gap.
Transformation of school libraries in increasing students' interest in reading.
School library management in improving literacy for students, and Literacy and tolerance for reading materials in libraries (Aditia & Irwasnyah, 2.
However, there are still limitations in the scope of the research, especially in terms of integrating the effectiveness of library managerial supervision as a determining factor in library transformation.
The limitations of this study provide a gap .

for further research that can provide more in-depth insights into the role and impact of managerial supervision on the progress of school libraries.
Libraries play an important role in providing students with access to diverse literature and information resources.
By providing a library in each school, it can provide a means for students to develop their literacy, reading, and scientific study skills.
Bowler's view written by Moehring et al.
, regarding the main target of children's services in libraries includes three aspects.
First, the library aims to present a variety of library materials that are shown in an interesting and easily accessible way for children.
Second, the goal is to provide direction to children in choosing books and other library materials.
Third, libraries strive to foster, develop, and nurture the pleasure of reading to children.
And fourth, supervising the productivity rate of its services.
However, the most crucial aspect in increasing the effectiveness of libraries is the sustainability of individual reading interests and library management skills that are able to stimulate reading Regulation Number 43 of 2007 concerning Libraries.
Chapter i Article 15 Paragraph .
that "library land must be located that is easy to access, safe, comfortable, and has a clear legal status".
Unfortunately, not all schools can manage their libraries The limited library space and the number of reading books are important factors that need to be considered to meet the literacy needs of students.
Initial observations and interviews conducted at SDIT Darussalam Palopo on Friday.
Februari 7, 2025, as revealed by the resource person who is one of the education staff at the school, show that the condition of classroom facilities and the availability of reading books in the library are still very concerning.
School libraries that should be able to function as learning spaces seem inadequate and do not fully support the optimal learning process.
The limited availability of these facilities can affect the comfort and effectiveness of learning for students.
In addition, the situation of the school library also shows shortcomings in terms of the availability of reading books.
This condition reflects the low diversification of book collections and the possibility of a lack of resources in library management.
These limitations can be an obstacle in motivating students to read and access information, which should be the main goal of libraries as learning centers.
In addition to field observations, preliminary documentation studies were also conducted to provide a comprehensive picture of the condition of libraries and education at SDIT Darussalam Palopo.
Through the documentation study, information was obtained about school policies related to library management, existing literacy programs, and evaluation of previous learning outcomes.
An analysis of the initial documentation study reflects that library-related policies may need refinement, and existing literacy programs can be evaluated to improve their effectiveness.
Previous learning results also provide an overview of student literacy trends and potential aspects that need to be improved.
This combination of field observation and initial documentation study provides a strong foundation for formulating the research focus, namely the effectiveness of school library managerial supervision.
Thus, this study not only aims to provide an in-depth understanding of the library as a learning center at SDIT Darussalam Palopo, but also to School Library Administration Management Towards a Literacy.

Sources: SDIT Darussalam Palopo Library Administration Data for 2023-2024 The results of the research on School Library Transformation Towards an Educational Literacy Learning Center found at SDIT Darussalam Palopo show a state of service transformation that has not met standards.
This can be seen from the findings of survey data obtained based on the quality management indicators of library services from 2022 to 2023 in general.
This can be influenced by several factors such as inadequate library space, absence of library staff, lack of collection of student reading materials, literacy programs that do not run as they should, and several other factors that cause students' interest in reading at SDIT Darussalam Palopo to decrease.
The other thing that causes the lack of interest in reading among students is that there are no long-lasting programs held at SDIT Darussalam Palopo to increase students' interest in reading, such as the Reading Together Program .
amely PMBAos progra.
, book clubs, book performances, and even in 2023 there is a literacy park program that was held by the school but did not run optimally until early 2024.
Discussions Regarding some of the findings of the transformative services of the school library at SDIT Darussalam Palopo seem to need serious attention together by the school.
Evaluating literacy needs to the development of the program will always require the involvement of all school components, starting from library staff, teachers, students, and also parents of students need to be involved in supporting the transformation of library services at SDIT Darussalam Palopo.
The steps are as follows.

In-depth evaluation of students' literacy needs In-depth evaluation of literacy needs is a crucial step in guiding the transformation of school libraries into effective and relevant educational literacy learning centers.
With a strong understanding of student needs, libraries can direct their efforts to provide the most useful literacy support and meet set educational expectations (Hoerudin, 2023.
Morgan et al.
, 2024.
Mursal Aziz et al.
, 2.
Such as analysis of student literacy data, surveys and interviews with students, teachers, and parents to understand their perceptions of literacy needs, review of applicable curriculum and Education standards to understand literacy expectations mandated by the government or Education supervisory body, analyze library collections, including books, reading materials, and other learning resources, observation of learning environments in libraries and classrooms to identify ways to where literacy is championed or may be overlooked, as well as collaborating with library staff, especially language teachers and teachers of other subjects, to understand their perspectives on students' literacy needs (Akcay et al.
, 2022.
Strachan, 2.
Procurement of Relevant Reading Collection Materials The procurement of relevant reading collection materials is an important step in meeting the literacy needs of students and improving the quality of school libraries as learning centers (Chen et al.
, 2021.
Turiman et al.
, 2.
These measures include identifying students' needs and preferences through surveys or interviews, curriculum reviews and consultations with education staff to ensure relevant materials, browsing online catalogs and resources to find quality reading materials, diversifying collections to cover different genres, attention to students' specific needs, and periodic evaluations and updates to maintain the linkage of collections to educational developments and reading interests student (Awaliyah et al.
, 2021.
Mutji & Suoth, 2.
Thus, school libraries can ensure that the reading materials provided support effective learning and promote an ongoing interest in reading among students.
Library Staff Training in Literacy Training library staff in literacy is an important step to increase the effectiveness of libraries as literacy learning centers in schools.
The training includes an in-depth understanding of literacy learning strategies, management of reading material collections, the use of technology in learning, and skills in designing and implementing diverse and interesting literacy programs (Begum et al.
, 2021.
Sikora et al.
, 2.
Through this training, library staff can improve their ability to support students in the development of reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills, and can become leaders in promoting a strong literacy culture in schools (Arif & Changxiao, 2022.
Sari et al.
Thus, training library staff in literacy is key in optimizing the role of libraries as an important learning resource for the success of student education (Archila et al.

Development of Integrated Literacy Programs The development of integrated literacy programs is a strategic step in strengthening the role of libraries as effective literacy learning centers in schools (Afrina et al.
, 2023.
Uyarra & Borja, 2.
The program is designed to align with the school curriculum and includes a variety of literacy activities that support the development of students' reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills (Cleovoulou & Beach, 2019.
Dong et al.
, 2.
This program can include book clubs, writing projects, art performances, cross-subject literacy activities, and the use of technology in literacy learning.
Through this program, students are not only given the opportunity to improve their literacy skills, but are also inspired to explore their interests and talents in the context of literacy (Ertekin & Yyksel.
Pouresmaieli et al.
, 2.
With this integrated approach, libraries become more than just a place to access reading materials.
It became a dynamic hub that promoted continuous literacy learning and stimulated a positive interest in reading among Collaboration between Teachers and Parents Collaboration between teachers and parents is an important aspect in supporting the development of student literacy in schools (Cirik et al.
, 2023.
Yulia et al.
, 2.
Through close cooperation between the two parties, it can create an environment that supports literacy learning at home and at school (Bater et al.
, 2024.
Miller & Venketsamy, 2.
Teachers can share information about students' literacy progress, provide suggestions on how parents can support literacy learning at home, and engage parents in literacy activities at school, such as reading events or book discussions (Guay et al.
, 2.
On the other hand, parents can provide insight into their children's literacy interests and needs, support reading practices at home, and participate in school literacy activities (Nystrym et al.
, 2023.
Ulfasari & Fauziah, 2021.

By working together, teachers and parents can create a cohesive and positive environment that promotes effective and sustainable literacy learning for students (Wei & Liu, 2.
Monitoring and Evaluating Literacy Programs Monitoring and evaluating literacy programs is an important stage in ensuring the success and effectiveness of the program in improving students' literacy skills (Asmayawati et al.
, 2024.
Ke et al.

These measures involve regular monitoring of program implementation as well as evaluation of its impact on students' literacy skills (Hindman et al.
, 2010.
Ramandanu, 2.
Through the library's transformation efforts, it can lead schools to educational literacy learning centers as described.
This is important in supporting the school library program to create a strong literacy culture in schools and can be an agent of change that will improve the overall quality of education.

CONCLUSIONS
Library management services at SDIT Darussalam Palopo have facilities that are still very inadequate to be used as a learning resource or a place to increase students' interest in reading at SDIT Darussalam Palopo.
Such as the absence of library staff, library rooms that are combined with classrooms, and the lack of reading materials that suit the needs of students.
This also causes literacy programs at SDIT Darussalam Palopo to be very rare, thus hindering the increase in reading interest of SDIT Darussalam Palopo students.
Several programs that can be carried out to support educational literacy-based library transformation efforts at SDIT Darussalam Palopo, such as gathering support from the school community by inviting teachers, students and administrative staff, to be actively involved in improving and improving the library.
The effectiveness of the program is analyzed based on four sub-indicators, including service satisfaction, service transformation, service development, and ease of service.
The effectiveness of this service is consequential in increasing students' interest in literacy in the library as a transformative learning education center at SDIT Darussalam Palopo.
It is hoped that with the joint efforts of all parties, the school library transformation program can be a valuable resource in supporting the development of student literacy at SDIT Darussalam Palopo.
