According to The Central Connecticut State University (CCSU), the reading enthusiasm of Indonesian is ranked the second lowest of the 61 countries studied in 2016. Recently, there have been increasing number of Colportage in Indonesia for example the Kandang Jurang Doank Library (West Java), on boat library (in South Kalimantan), and the Library for Blind people (Medan). In addition, there is the Wadas Kelir Creative House (Purwokerto) that not only focus on reading services and improving creativity, but also empowering the community through creative industry based on religious literacy. The purpose of this study is to understand the empowerment achievements and their implications. This is a qualitative research with a snowball sampling method and triangulation data collection techniques (observation, documentation, and interviews). Finally, we found that the Rumah Kreatif Wadas Kelir had succeeded in increasing the welfare of volunteers and the surrounding community. And we also found that it had become the destinations of comparative studies for managements of colportage and kindergartens to the wider community to various regions in Indonesia. So, that it might be used as a model of a colportage that can improve the prosperity of the community.
