BACKGROUND
Kampoeng Batja was founded in 2009 by Iman Suligi as a reflection of his deep passion for literacy, which began in the 1980s with his personal comic library called Taman Baca Tintin. After co-founding the Indonesia Membaca Foundation whose activities eventually paused Iman reignited his literacy mission upon retiring as an art teacher at a vocational school in Jember by establishing Kampoeng Batja on a 700-square-meter plot of land. Today, it has grown into an urban literacy destination featuring over 6,000 fiction and non-fiction books and various facilities such as free Wi-Fi, a treehouse, reading corners, an archery field, a book museum, and lodging. The name “Kampoeng Batja” was inspired by Iman’s desire to give his neighborhood a strong literacy identity during his time as a local RT (neighborhood unit) head, aiming to create a community where reading becomes a natural part of everyday life.
