"Surfing" at The Library


      Tracing back to the theme of National Education Day celebration (Hardiknas) in 2010 some time ago, the "Education for Character Building civilized nation". The issue of lack of interest in reading and literacy are still many persons in this country, should be a major concern all elements of society in its efforts to improve the quality of Indonesia's population. According to data from the Ministry of National Education Indonesia's population is still illiterate in 2008 as many as 10.1 million people. Surely that number will increase if not immediately addressed. Therefore, the presence of the library was initiated by PT HM Sampoerna Surabaya, by providing a variety of sources of literature dedicated to the public and employees need to have a positive appreciation and made an example for other companies in East Java. Inspiring company with activities on offer can be a bridge to improve the quality and character of the nation's education for the realization of a better standard of living.
               Known American writer, William Feather said (more or less the point): "The book will open up and expand your mind and make you so tough". The content of the meaning that he was expressing the most profound. Moreover, if the statement is proved if only by a sheet of paper, then the truth will come true. By reading the book world as far as anything could be forded pages per page, even as a matter of knowledge of the books that have been read at least will further add to our literary references and about knowledge itself. From not knowing to knowing, from which it could be possible, and from the underdeveloped to be smart. Community loyalty in terms of reading (especially writing) it is still less so entrenched, even suggesting that the presence of television to some extent already covered the "shortage" is. The reality is so, a mindset that has been trapped in a region which is nothing but laziness itself. Indeed with the reading, we not only capture what is stated in the text but also a sense of whether the information is right or wrong, what incited me suport and little mengolahragakan our eyes not only get information from television.

         Surfing habits in the library have long done, only difference lies in the media used. So, what kind of breakthrough, who were quite willing to draw the attention of the public to visit the library? The library museum is not just a good collection that no one takes the meaning in it. The era of digitization and information technology (IT) can not be avoided. However, as far as possible be addressed in a wise and prudent that the library not only provides old books alone, but rather how to compile the two, the Internet and books. There should be a change, if we do not want the museum to the library itself.
