Access to digital libraries and streaming services is often limited in regions with no internet connectivity, commonly referred to as blank spot areas. This paper presents the design and implementation of an offline server system to provide digital library and multimedia streaming services in several villages on Bengkalis Island, Indonesia. The system was installed in three villages and utilised a local server equipped with over 1,200 digital learning resources, distributed to users through a wireless local area network (Wi-Fi) without the need for internet access. During the three-month pilot period, 94% of users (n = 127) reported successful access to e-books and educational videos via their personal devices, with average access speeds reaching 40–48 Mbps. Content updates were performed every four weeks via temporary internet connections. User satisfaction was high, with 91% of respondents stating that the system helped them access up-to-date learning materials and improved their learning motivation. These results demonstrate that the offline server solution effectively bridges the digital divide, enabling equitable access to information, educational resources, and multimedia content for underserved communities in remote areas.
