| dc.description.abstract | Library as an institution plays a role in developing students' reading interest.
Library should strive to create situations and conditions in its environment
that highly help the enthusiasm for reading of library users. The objective of
this research is to find out the efforts of the Petatal National Private High
School library in increasing students' reading interest. This is a qualitative
descriptive research. Data collection techniques employed in this research are
interview, observation and documentation. Determination of informants is
carried out by purposive sampling, which consisted of school principals,
librarians and students of year X, XI, XII. Research data are analyzed by
means of data reduction, data presentation and drawing conclusions. Data
testing uses triangulation, namely source triangulation, technical
triangulation, and time triangulation. The research results are viewed from
aspects of the library in the school environment which includes the
arrangement of the library building, the arrangement of library space, the
management of library collections, the location of the library, the lighting in
the library, the temperature and humidity, and the decoration of the school
library. It can be concluded, from the results of a review of aspects of the
library, that the efforts of the Petatal National Private High School library in
increasing students' reading interest are in accordance with the aspects of the
guidelines set based on research that reviews libraries in the school
environment according to Sinaga (2018). | en_US |
