Background: Balinese people are already familiar with foreign tourists who visit the island every year, contributing to the region’s income. However, there are not many adequate facilities to improve literacy skills in this location. The low reading interest of local residents, The project was initiated by Vern Cork, an Australian writer with a long association with the local Balinese Community. The current books to be collated are a collection of three generations of the family of Ibu Dayu’. This library will be used by local residents to hold educational sessions to stimulate creativity and increase reading interest in the younger generation.
