Librarian of STIE Perbanas Surabaya, Dio Eka Prayitno, S.Sos., Explained that this competition was to form the character of students. In fact, they can get to know the library environment from an early age. The previous year, the library of STIE Perbanas Surabaya had also invited students to watch films and videos so as to improve their literacy. In fact, the Community Reading Gardens (TBM) in Sukolilo and Rungkut Districts were also involved in realizing this service program.

"This year, per TBM sent 2 children to take part in the competition. From Sukolilo there were 12 TBMs and Rungkut there were 17 TBMs. So there are 58 children who participated in this competition, "said Dio on the sidelines of the activity.

He continued, this time the Coloring and Drawing Contest carried the theme "Saving". The Coloring Competition was followed by students aged 7-9 years, with a template for the BI Corner building and the STIE Perbanas Surabaya Library. Meanwhile, children aged 10-12 years are given the freedom to create. They can use pencils or crayons to express a predetermined theme. "Each category will be selected as 1st place to 3rd place winner and 1st runner up to 3rd runner up," he added.

The winners of the coloring competition by STIE Perbanas Surabaya are as follows. The first winner was won by Putri; Second place went to Wildan; and the third winner was Ajeng. Then, the Runner Up Champion was received by Dita, the Runner Up Champion II was received by Selly; and the 3rd runner up was awarded to Fadhil. (ek0 / public relations)
