Librarians have a significant contribution in increasing public literacy through the literacy programs they offer.
"The important role of librarians cannot be ignored," said librarian from National Library Restu Putri Solikhah.
In schools, the role of teachers is also similar to that of librarians. The emotional connection that is built between teachers and students when reading aloud is very important in their development.
"Reading aloud gives students the opportunity to listen to other people's reading, thereby helping develop their oral and written vocabulary," said literacy activist Gusti Ayu Mawarani.
Introducing reading aloud activities to parents, teachers, and librarians is an important step. National Library hopes that this activity can become a routine at home, school and in the library to foster children's interest in reading//VOI
