Abstrak
The issue of literacy in Indonesia today is still quite concerning and has become a national problem. One of the key pillars in the development of literacy culture is the library. The government plays a significant role in influencing all aspects of the social needs of the community, such as the development of education, in this case, increasing the public's interest in reading. For this reason, a public library is needed that can reflect local characteristics and also create a strong identity for a region. The concept and basic program of planning and design are carried out using literature study, direct observation, and comparative study methods. The results of this study conclude that the public library of West Muna Regency is designed to provide a literacy platform for the entire community, especially for students, through its facilities, resource collections, programs, and services. Then the application of neo-vernacular architecture in this library takes the concept from the traditional houses of the Muna people, such as the basic shape of the building, spatial layout, as well as construction and materials.
