This Community Service is carried out by looking at the condition of the library's main books which are in disarray, the entry of books is not clear, lots of books are lost, whether they are borrowed, damaged, or for other reasons that are not clear, and many books are also destroyed without minutes so that an application is needed that can help the library to become more organized and monitored. The aim of PkM is to help optimize Digital-Based MAN 1 Bulukumba Library Services. PkM participants are librarians, teachers, and students of MAN 1 Bulukumba. The training implementation method consists of two stages, namely direct material presentation and mentoring, where material presentation is carried out in plenary and hands-on practice on how to install, introduce features and use them, and prospective library members also immediately try to open the application on their smartphone device. An analysis of the success of this PkM activity was carried out by observing the participants' ability to understand the material, the ability to use the application and the satisfaction of using the application, as well as the appearance of the application's features. The results of the activity were that this PkM succeeded in helping to optimize digital-based MAN 1 Bulukumba Library services. Participants are very able to understand the material and apply it in developing their library services such as being able to organize library books and Sistem Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC) are successfully implemented by classifying books according to their type and arranging the positions of these books so that they are easily found by library members. The ability to use applications by librarians is 100% because all library staff consisting of 4 librarians are able to provide library services through applications. Students and teachers who are prospective members of the library also managed to log in 100% to the MAN 1 Bulukumba Library application during the training. The satisfaction of the application users can be seen from the enthusiasm of the application users, and they have started to come and try to borrow books from the library. The development of display features and feature development is also very extraordinary. Librarians are able to adjust the appearance of features according to the identity of the school. There is a development of the barcode scan feature with a barcode that is made in each book and a notification feature via WhatsApp so that they can receive the latest information about borrowing their books. They can also transact using WhatsApp to extend the borrowing of books.
