ABSTRACT: Technology has become an essential thing in the life of every human being, where technology plays a role in supporting all daily activities.
This condition impacts children in their infancy or who are sitting in school.
The utilization of information technology is seen as not optimal because they prefer to play games and social media rather than explore new knowledge and information, which is very necessary for their educational process.
The explanation of the problems above is our reason for holding a literacy program in Tebel Village with children as the primary target.
The children who live around the village tend to choose to play with their gadgets rather than read books.
Lack of supervision from parents and the influence of the playing environment are some of the contributing factors.
The activities increase interest in reading among children through a micro-library program located on the riverbank of Tebel Village.
The results of this study were quite successful because more or fewer children had read books.
least, they were a little distracted from the influence of gadgets that had become a part of childrenAos lives at this time.

Interest in Reading Pendahuluan The people of Tebel need to immediately address the problem of the low interest in reading in children.
One of them is by setting up a reading room or library.
All ages of society choose the library today when they want to do an activity such as reading, studying, and doing assignments.
1 Therefore, the library presents a comfortable and calm atmosphere to suit children who focus on doing or completing However, few children also feel awkward when they first visit the library because they feel foreign to the quiet atmosphere for studying and contemplating.

The Tebel Village KKN-P team explained the importance of science for their future, and to get much new knowledge is to read many books.
The children of Tebel Village can be quite enthusiastic when we conduct education in the middle of learning and invite them to read the books available in the micro-library.
The results of the literacy program activities by increasing reading interest among reading interest children are considered successful.
Evaluation activities are options used to determine the success or failure of policy implementation and to evaluate the achievement of its objectives.
9 This evaluation activity focuses on the percentage of achievement of the final result.
The village community encountered several obstacles in this program and preserved the program in the future.
Some of the obstacles we faced were the childrenAos lack of interest in reading books because they were more dependent on their gadgets than studying together with their friends.
10 They mentioned that neither society nor children could use it optimally to find information or knowledge of internet technology that continues to Therefore, we can evaluate or educate them on temporarily distracting them from playing gadgets.
During the mentoring process, we also invited them on the sidelines of teaching and learning activities to play a bit, like giving them quizzes in English, and in the end, their enthusiasm for learning began to form so that the program of activities that we had held went well.
In addition, the local communityAos benefits are that they feel happy because the literacy village has become active again after several years of being quiet due to the pandemic.

The 2022 KKN-P team rearranged the books from the donation in the micro-library to make it look neater, where the books were the latest books that could attract the attention of residents to read them.
Furthermore.
KKN-P students also guide the children of Tebel Village to increase their reading interest by reducing the frequency of using their gadgets.
In addition, we also invite children to learn English in a fun way and play so that they do not get bored of studying and reading continuously in between tutoring activities.
Students realize that this activity must be continued and improved to advance Tebel Village due to time constraints and the management of KKN-P activities.
The hope for a continuation of the residents of Tebel Village after the Community Service Program activities by Umsida students include:
