Introduction
Gampong Sungai Pauh Pusaka is one of the gampongs in the West Langsa District, Langsa City.This gampong has several elementary and kindergarten level schools.Even though there are several schools, this village lacks interest in reading.The development of increasingly sophisticated technology and the lack of awareness among residents greatly influence reading activities.The majority of children in Gampong Sungai Pauh Pusaka already use mobile phones to search for information about difficult subject matter.Apart from looking for information about lessons, many children who are still in elementary school also use cellphones to play games.In fact, there are lots of children who are still in kindergarten who prefer to play cellphones rather than read books.From this problem, the UNSAM PKM team provided counseling and socialization about the importance of reading and provided reading carts for the Early Childhood Library Mother.
A reading cart is a mobile library placed in a public space and can be accessed by anyone for free.The reading cart itself is a cart containing books like a library placed in a public space.This cart library can be accessed by anyone for free, to attract public interest so that the cart containing books looks more attractive (Endah, 2012).Reading carts are used as a support for the school library.The reading cart is carried around the school area from one class to another.The reading cart is used during recess and when there are no class hours.Students use reading carts during their break time to read.Students can enjoy reading materials from the reading cart by eating snacks (Jauhari, 2010).The reading cart is an idea to build a library that is easily accessible to the public and available free to anyone.With the aim of reading (Tarigan, 2008).
Reading is an important activity in the teaching and learning process, because reading is the ability to absorb knowledge through text or reading (Hidayatulloh et al, 2019;Pratiwi et al., 2020).We can find out information by reading, and we can broaden our insight and think critically (Nopitaningrum, 2019;Patiung, 2016;Pujiono, 2012).The reading corner or literacy corner that is created acts as a mini library in carrying out a book reading activity which will be provided on a corner shelf or on a lesehan located in one corner or corner of the village office room (Aswat, 2020;Dafit & Mustika, 2020;Wulanjani & Anggraeni, 2019).This definition is in line with Darmono's opinion which states that interest in reading is a mental tendency that encourages someone to do something about reading (Darmono, 2001).
The School Literacy Movement (GLS) is an effort that is carried out comprehensively, continuously and sustainably to make schools into learning organizations that have lifelong literate citizens by involving the community (Sadli & Saadati, 2019).One of the goals of this school literacy movement is to increase students' awareness that reading is very important and brings broader insight (Dharma, 2013).Literacy culture can be realized through the implementation of the school literacy movement (GLS).GLS can be implemented by integrating cocurricular, co-curricular and extra-curricular activities at school (Labudasari & Rochmah, 2019).This method has been proven to improve students' reading skills and the independent character of elementary school students.
Every school at every level is required to implement GLS as an effort to increase interest in reading and schools as learning centers are also expected to become centers for the growth of lifelong learning motivation (Hastuti & Lestari, 2018).The objectives of GLS are (1) to foster a culture of literacy reading and writing for school students, (2) increasing the capacity of the community and a literate school environment, (3) making the school a pleasant place to learn, and (4) maintaining the continuity of the learning process by providing a variety of reading books and using varied reading strategies (Widayoko & Muhardjito, 2018 ).
Literacy Reading is a program in developing human potential which includes emotional, intellectual, spiritual, social, language, aesthetics, being able to master the development of technology and information (Suwandi, 2019).Reading literacy is also called a view of the ability to read, listen, write and speak (Abidin, 2017).This literacy capability is also a government program in implementing MBKM in tertiary institutions, where students take part in campus teaching programs at school.Students are tasked with providing knowledge to students in increasing literacy, so that they can improve education management in learning process activities.
Building students' interest in reading is part of benefiting and producing a culture of reading literacy (Silvia, 2020).The use of digital technology reading literacy with smartphones is more effective than conventional writing and reading (Zupita et al, 2020).Literacy or what can be said to be literacy in the ability to read and write is part of literacy (Santoso, 2017).Points of view and various ways with complex concepts that are dynamic and easy to interpret and define are called reading literacy (Rumaf & Wahyuningsih, 2020).
Aspects of reading literacy skills consist of (1) the frequency of borrowing reading materials from the library; (2) the amount and variety of reading materials, (3) there is a school policy regarding reading literacy; the number of school activities related to reading literacy; (5) there is a reading community at school (Kemendikbud, 2017).Student knowledge in literacy learning is part of the 2013 curriculum to measure the development of attitudes and cognitive abilities and skills (Abidin et al, 2017).The literacy movement on students' reading interest has a positive influence of 0.55 from the results found in previous research (Faradina, 2017).Students' reading achievement with a value of 32.8% can be stated to have a significant influence (Farizah, 2017).For this reason, in order to increase reading literacy, there is a need for learning media contained in books and having library carts in schools.
There are several things that have become findings or discussions in this community service activity which are problems for partners, namely: This reading literacy movement is also related to government programs related to MBKM.So, to address the solution of the MBKM program regarding reading literacy, in this case a community service activity will be carried out entitled: Utilization of Reading Literacy Carts (GELISBA) in Increasing Interest in Reading to Support the MBKM Program at Sungai Pusaka Preschool.

At this stage the service team provided literacy carts and reading books which will be used by the Sungai Pauh Pusaka Preschool children, which can be proven in Figure 2.  A reading cart is like a library that is directly related to various types of reading materials.All reading materials are not just to be stored, but more than that must be utilized as fully as possible by the user.Getting students to use reading materials is not easy, especially for students who do not or do not have the habit of reading.Therefore, the school must be able to organize strategies that encourage students to use or utilize reading carts and at the same time familiarize themselves with reading habits and skills.
The role that reading carts can play in improving reading skills is to use reading time to train students' reading skills by: (1) Practicing the ability to read the main idea of a discourse; (2) Training the ability to understand parts of a discourse; (3) Training the ability to recognize sentences that are not there is a connection in the discourse; (4) Train the ability to be critical of reading.

Discussion
This is reinforced by the research results of Permatasi ( 2015) that the quality of a nation is determined by its intelligence and knowledge, while intelligence and knowledge are generated by how much knowledge is obtained, while knowledge is obtained from information obtained both orally and in writing.Interest in reading is a driving force so that children are interested, pay attention and enjoy reading activities so that they are willing to carry out these activities happily of their own accord (Maharani et al., 2017).
The implementation of education in Indonesia is mostly actualized in reading activities (Megantara & Wachid, 2021).Reading is an important function in life (Elendiana, 2020;Ismaniar, 2018).All learning processes are based on reading ability.With the ability to read entrenched in every child, the level of success at school and in life in society will open up opportunities for better life success (Syahidin, 2020;Teguh, 2017).The results obtained in this research are in line with the results of previous research which also stated that in general the implementation of school literacy activities has run smoothly, students have started to like reading, but the available books are still very limited so that students' reading experience is very limited (Yunianika &., 2019).
