This study employs a library research approach. Sugiyono (2019) defines library research as a study involving theoretical analysis based on references concerning the values, culture, and norms that evolve within the social context under investigation. The data sources for this study consist of books, journals, and scholarly articles related to digital literacy and the utilization of Digital Reading Corners (*Pojok Baca Digital* or *Pocadi*). The instruments used in this study include research materials relevant to the study's focus, a writing outline or map, and a research recording format.
Research findings indicate that the Digital Reading Corner (Pocadi) enhances public literacy by providing reading facilities—such as computers and digital access services—alongside a comfortable reading environment. These corners are located in various high-traffic public areas, including regional libraries, educational institutions (universities and schools), and airports. The government hopes that Pocadi will boost digital literacy among the public, particularly regarding the use of digital technology. In practice, the public utilizes Pocadi to experience digital technology firsthand through an initiative launched by the National Library of Indonesia (Perpusnas RI). Furthermore, the presence of Pocadi serves as an innovation designed to raise public awareness about reading habits and foster interest in using digital technology.
