Gita Khoirunnisa and her team chose Microlibrary Warak Kayu in Semarang as the object of TikTok video creation. The content is packaged in the form of a short two-minute video. The video begins by introducing Microlibrary Warak Kayu as a library with a unique design because it was built using wood waste materials that are reprocessed to ensure environmentally friendly functions and sustainable environmental preservation.
Gita Khoirunnisa and her team developed a video creation by introducing the steps that need to be done when visiting the Microlibrary Warak Kayu. The content created also features interesting spots to read books, one of which is a net that can be climbed by one adult.
At the end of the video, Gita Khoirunnisa and her team invited the audience to visit Microlibrary Warak Kayu. Microlibrary Warak Kayu itself is located at Jl. DR. Sutomo, Barusari, Kecamatan Semarang Selatan, Kota Semarang, Jawa Tengah with opening hours of 08.30 – 12.00 and 13.00 – 15.30 every Monday – Saturday.
