to the public with the theme of the Nusantara story. Reading aloud is carried out
regularly every Saturday-Sunday at 10.00-11.00 WIB and every school visit is
made. The activity begins with reading information related to the book being read,
such as the title, author's name and class number. Then the librarian reads the
entire contents of the book. After that the participants were asked to retell the
contents of the book. The obstacles in the implementation of this event are
children who tend not to be able to focus for too long, and the choice of
vocabulary that must be paid close attention to because most of the participants
are children.
