Abstract—This study investigates the development and evaluation of a web-based digital library tailored for primary education, addressing the critical demand for digital resources that are both accessible and engaging in supporting foundational learning. The initiative aims to bridge the gap in interactive and inclusive educational tools while aligning with curriculum standards. A structured 4D model (Define, Design, Develop, Disseminate) was employed to guide the library’s development. The evaluation involved expert validators, teachers, and students, assessing the library’s validity, practicality, and effectiveness through structured instruments and user feedback. Results from expert validators indicate high validity, with average scores of 0.92 for material content and 0.91 for media design, signifying strong adherence to educational standards and age-appropriateness. Practicality analysis yielded an average score of 81.2%, classified as “very practical,” emphasizing the library’s relevance, system reliability, and ability to engage students. The effectiveness evaluation scored an average of 83.6%, categorized as “highly effective,” validating the library’s role in enhancing digital literacy and fostering active student participation. These findings underline the potential of web-based digital libraries to support primary education by delivering curriculum-aligned, interactive, and inclusive learning experiences. This study contributes to the advancement of technology-enhanced learning tools, presenting empirical evidence of the web-based digital library’s impact. It serves as a model for future innovations in digital resources aimed at enriching primary education through engagement and inclusivity.
