Key Points

To evaluate the impact of a social inclusion-based public library transformation program on community empowerment and the attainment of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Indonesia.

Surveyed program beneficiaries across multiple Indonesian regions using structured questionnaires, analyzing responses via percentage and frequency distributions.
Beneficiaries rated program activities favorably at 78% for diversity and flexibility, while 75% reported positive outputs in acquired knowledge, skills, and welfare support.
Input indicators regarding facilities, personnel, and resources received an average positive agreement rate of 65%.
Long-term impact toward SDGs achieved 62% beneficiary agreement, demonstrating positive shifts in confidence and basic awareness but limited progress in direct economic empowerment.
