Abstract

Gandamekar Hamlet is a village in Cikapinis village, Karangnunggal District, Tasikmalaya Regency. In this hamlet there are many small children with low literacy levels and low education because most of their parents are farmers who do not know the world of education. The community in the village has not considered science and education as important. Therefore, we consider the need to hold and present a new menu to arouse and bring people closer to the window of knowledge in the form of books, namely by establishing a reading garden. The establishment of the reading park is expected to increase the number of literates and can change people's understanding that science that has been neglected is useful to improve their standard of living. The method used in community service activities is Making children's playgrounds, Designing group storytelling, weekly and monthly thematic discussions, study needs of community reading books. The results of this community service activity are the team making a program which is divided into the preparation stage, the stage of establishment, the evaluation phase. The stage of this activity is the naming of the reading garden, which is "Riyadul Ummah TBM", management structure, and facilities for prepared books such as children's story books, religion, agriculture, and the application of technology.
