Students, teachers and librarians: a network to be built

Abstract

The article examines, initially, data from research on reading for teachers and school libraries in the Western Paulista completed in 2009. Then addresses the structural problems which prevent the effective functioning of libraries, including the disregard for the role of the school librarian, despite recent legal devices, important but ambiguous. Subsequently, it proposes reconfiguration of the library concept and its organization with the incorporation of the computer room, now it apart and greater structural and financial contribution. Finally, the writer believes it would be necessary to review, beyond the concept of the library, the teaching of the act of reading to understand it as a cultural act to be appropriated by the younger generations within the schools and their renewed libraries with the indispensable librarian.
