VOInews, Kalsel : One of the keys to progress in achieving Golden Indonesia 2045 is to develop literate Indonesian people. A literate society is characterized by a climate of knowledge, innovation and creativity that continues to grow.

Assistant for Economics and Development for the Banjarbaru City Government, Sri Lailana, said that in the midst of its efforts to create a literate society, there is a bigger challenge, namely social media.

"The younger generation's addiction to playing social media is quite worrying because they spend more time on social media than reading books," said Sri when opening the literacy safari for the Empowered Reading with Books Ambassadors in Banjarbaru City, Thursday (5/8/2024).

Sri admits that it is not a problem if the younger generation uses social media, but it needs to be balanced by reading quality books so that a person's curiosity, thinking and critical reasoning remains.

Each region has interesting characteristics, ranging from rich natural resources, culinary, culture, or whatever. The regional potential in Banjarbaru City can be explored thoroughly through writing, said journalist Rendi Tisna.

Good writing is writing that is finished. Especially if it is supported by research results that can strengthen the writing. You need consistency in writing. Can't do it half-heartedly.

In fact, National Library Main Librarian Abdullah Sanneng challenged the active writing of the Banjarbaru people to produce a book containing the natural and cultural riches of the region.

According to a release received by Voice of Indonesia in Jakarta on Thursday September 5th 2024, it is impossible to rely on people outside Banjarbaru because they do not necessarily understand the natural potential and cultural conditions of the people.

The Empowered Reading Ambassador with Books activity was also enlivened by Banjarbaru City Reading Ambassador Huda Nur, and literacy activist from the Banjarbaru City Circle of Pens Forum (FLP) Nurul Asmayani//VOI
