This study used a descriptive qualitative method with interview and observation data collection techniques. The results of the study show that 2 factors influence literacy culture, namely inhibiting factors and supporting factors. Inhibiting factors include students' lack of interest in reading, the influence of gadgets due to increasingly sophisticated technological developments, lack of awareness from students, and lack of parental involvement in literacy activities. Supporting factors from parents, teachers, and facilities and infrastructure.
