Abstract
The majority of special libraries fulfill the information needs of their work environment to support the development and improvement of the duties and functions of the institution and its human resources. However, several service innovations have been carried out by creating social inclusion-based service programs for the general public. One such special library is the Center for Library and Dissemination of Agricultural Technology (PUSTAKA) of the Ministry of Agriculture, Indonesia. This research aims to provide an overview of how the PUSTAKA special library can be involved in creating service innovations for the public through social inclusion programs. The method used is a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. The study results illustrate that PUSTAKA contributes to the community by improving the skills of farmers related to crop pest management, from planting to post-harvest.
