In principle the Garden Creative Community Readings are designed to meet the needs of the community and recreation creations. Creative means of community Reading Garden provides not only books, but creating a creative activity that involves the participation of visitors. While recreation means Garden Community should avoid Reading the nuances of rigidity and silence, but rather to create an atmosphere of pleasure.

Organizing Garden Creative Community Reading means must have attractiveness and value by creating a fun atmosphere and always mematik its visitors to create the power of imagination or ideas new ideas. With do not intend to deny the importance of the public library, garden's Reading public should have the characteristic of a diverse and colorful match character territory each.
Generally, the management of the garden's Creative Community Readings have 3 important things that need to be prepared, i.e., Power Manager, facilities and Program Plan. First, it served as the Manager of power that became the driving force and the technical manager of the garden so that the Community more comfortable Readings, arranged and tersistem. Second, the question of the means more associated with primary means (a room, shelves and books), the means of Administration (catalogs, membership card, book, book loans, etc), and means of supporting (LCD, computer, Internet and so on). The third Program plan to fill a planned activity and arranged broadly participatory.

Work program into something special, because there advantages and peculiarities of Society’s Reading Garden.

So my explanation of what, how, and the purpose of the children's Society, Reading further I will tell about experience activity I did in running the Society Reading Garden program in my agency

Providing A Reading Collection
In order to meet a collection of readings that are needed by the community, I try to ask for assistance/cooperation with institutions that can distribute reading books, such as: Language Hall, regional library and the national library. I send you some proposals and said that I runs the program children's reading society, but I do not have adequate reading collection, that I hope to be of assistance in the form of reading books to the public.

After I tried to ask for help, I have been assisted by several institutions I have mentioned above, and finally I got about a thousand collection readings for all ages and types of educational background as well as the work of the society. Subsequently the reading collection I created each of the categories, such as: readings for agriculture, farm, marine, forestry, science, economics and others.

Implementation Of Activities
To invite people to enter the Library is not an easy thing, logically, it is very difficult to someone who is preoccupied with work a waste of time to enter a building specifically for reading. Moreover, the public areas I prefer sitting talking with a long time,and discuss things that are born of their own thoughts, even though they're talking about is an event that can not be accountable his righteousness.

To like it, I worked with my friend who has a restaurant on the edge of the beach, so we created a stall named "Literacy Café" with the slogan Coffee and books. A collection of readings that I have that I provided in table café, so that visitors who come to enjoy the food and drinks we serve can be used the time to read our collection.

So my story about Education for the work with the topic of the cultural education Program or read the Garden Reading public, hopefully with my story can provide motivation and innovation make steemians best friend in the whole world.
