    Abstract
    This article provides the rationale as to how a library can be used as a tool to promote justice in Indonesia. God’s justice is manifested by his provision for all people to have equal access to the resources he provides. Poverty, as the main problem in Indonesia, hinders individuals and communities to experience God’s justice in their lives. As a foundation to build a life-long learning and democratic society, a library plays a crucial role in fighting the system in the country that causes inequality and poverty. However there are a few challenges that prevent the libraries in Indonesia from fully playing their role: the inadequate number of libraries, the lack of relevant reading materials, the lack of a reading culture, the lack of sustainable funding, and the lack of church involvement - which is critical for a holistic transformation. As a conclusion, a library can be used as a tool to promote justice in Indonesia, provided that the challenges are well addressed.
