A village library is a public service agency which is located in a village. A unit which was developed from, by and for its community. The source of information has multiple tasks, namely:
- to ensure each society as user of information
- to ensure the information transferred quickly and reliably to users.
Basically, human need information, but sometimes they don’t realize it. They will search for Information and need support from an external input (external resource) if they are unsure to reach a certain goal or they are in a problematic situation. The other opinion states that the need of information is support by anomalous state of knowledge, if someone comes to a source of information (library) to seek information, it means that his/her knowledge is not much enough to faced a particular situation at that time .
The process of information came into human beings consist of three important things, namely:
- The need for information is a must to fill a certain void in human beings.
- Information is a thing between the external source and the "empty space" in the human mind.
- The information occurs when human transferred information from external sources into their mind.
