The school library as a potentiating agent of the teaching-learning process

Abstract

The school library is of paramount importance in the educational context, although it has not always been recognized as such throughout its history. Considering that it plays, today, a role that goes far beyond a space for reading promotion, this article aims to understand the importance of the school library as an instrument in the teaching-learning process, in order to identify the relevance of the coordination support pedagogical and teachers for this process, as well as employ facilitating activities that can collaborate to make this theory a possible reality. To this end, a qualitative research, bibliographic review and experience report was carried out in a private institution of basic education, belonging to an educational network, located in the north of the state of Paraná. The results showed that interdisciplinary work is essential for better service delivery to the school community, as well as the active and cooperative participation of the librarian, the coordination and the teaching staff, making them the main potentializing agents of the teaching-learning process, breaking paradigms and creating a different concept of school library, both for the student body and for the teacher.
