【 摘 要 】

Reading community, Taman Bacaan Masyarakat (TBMs) have a long story as the movement center of information literacy. At the beginning of its emergence, in the 1990s, TBMs stretched slowly but surely became the driving force for information literacy. In its development, TBMs emerged as a learning center, until there were several of them who were also leading the role of empowerment centers for the community. Using the case study method from qualitative research, this article tries to explore the other side of the role of TBMs in the midst of society in an effort to prepare an information society in Bandung Smart City to face global challenges. The study of several cases in previous studies with the topic of TBMs studies shows that there is a role for TBMs that has not been explored related to the challenges of globalization. This article seeks to reveal the unique side of TBMs as a global literacy center in Bandung Smart City. Hopefully the writing in this article will provide a discourse space for researchers of information literacy to continue to inspire TBMs that are actively growing in the midst of society to be part of community empowerment efforts, as well as global literacy locomotives for the environment.
