This research based on Indonesian Act about National Education System, UU RI No.20 Tahun 2003 article 26 section (4): non-formal education units consist of courses, training organizations, learning communities, community learning centre, majelis taklim, and so forth. The general objective of this research was to observe the factors determining the students’ reading interest at community education units in Bandung. Quantitative and qualitive approach or mix method was applied to this research. Qualitative approach was used to describe the empiric condition and the program implementation. The quantitative approach was applied to find out the determinative factors of students’ reading interest. The data were collected from observation, interview, questionnaire, and documentation study which were applied to 267 data sources. The result showed that some units have used computer-based system, such as SLIMS, INLIST, OPAC, blog, and website. The implementation of the system increased the numbers of visitor. The determinative factors affecting the reading interest are divided into two, which are internal factor (motivation, interest) and internal factor (jobs, group, environment, and interpersonal relationship). Similar jobs create similar goals, so the learning community is created. © BEIESP.
