 We conducted a library attack during the fifth week of the semester, which involved examining the library's contents and contrasting them with sustainable values. SDG 4 is applicable to the first image. People of all ages and backgrounds may now access educational resources, support lifelong learning, and encourage literacy thanks to Darul Hikmah.

In the meanwhile, SDG 16 can be applied to the third image. By providing free access to information, libraries foster the development of knowledgeable and involved individuals who uphold justice, transparency, and active social involvement. On image no 4, SDG 17's contribution to sustainability. In order to advance literacy, digital skills, and educational initiatives that support the SDGs, libraries regularly ...
