Abstract
This article aims to determine the role of the Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC) library system in the implementation of the school literacy movement (GLS) program in Borobudur State Elementary School (SDN) 2. The research subjects were students. The research instrument used was observation and documentation. The results showed that: The efforts undertaken by schools in implementing school literacy programs were: (1) Use of Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC) in school libraries, (2) Bringing books closer to students by creating reading areas outside the room, and ( 3) carrying out various forms of literacy activities in the classroom and through Indonesian language lessons. The obstacles faced by schools in GLS are: (1) the library room that is used as a classroom (in the process of renovation), and (2) the teacher lacks understanding of the application of the literacy movement. Thus, the implementation of the GLS program at SDN Borobudur 2 needs to be increased to the development stage by involving various parties.
