At present era and the future, look at something should comprehensively and integral. The profile of human beings who are able to think comprehensively and integral may be designed by thematic learning method. Thematic learning method is an interesting issue to be studied. This research is focused in thematic learning method. This research is community based research, that is a research that based on empowerment activity. So there are two main activities, they are research and empowerment..............

Abstract: Libraries transformed in the past decade to focus on community needs. Accordingly, the library business model has been shifted from a service centered model that focuses on services for all users to a customer centered model that focuses on the patron's needs. Thus, studies in the field of Library and Information Science (LIS) have become focusing more on subjectivity rather than objectivity. Qualitative inquiry focuses on subjectivity to investigate human perceptions, feelings, thoughts regarding to either services they deliver or services they obtain...............
