Abstract

This paper aims to outline a summary of the situation of school libraries in Brazil and of issues that affect their development, using the methodology of textual analysis. Two points arise from the analysis: 1) the emergence of academic research groups since the 1990s and the consequent increase in school library studies indicate that the theoretical foundation for the improvement of these institutions is being built and 2) the enactment, on May 24, 2010 of Act 12244 which enforces that each Brazilian school of basic education has a library represented a great achievement but its effectiveness remains to be proven.
