Health promotion in schools: the role of librarians
This study aims to understand the role of librarians in health promotion in schools by mapping actions carried out in Brazil and abroad. The research covered five databases and selected studies that describe librarians' involvement in health promotion activities. The identified actions focus on health literacy, mental health, and the development of health-related collections. These practices have grown over the past ten years, although they remain limited. Interdisciplinary partnerships are predominant, and on the international stage, initiatives are often led by specialized librarians, frequently operating outside the direct school context.

Rakugo in the school library: cultural mediation and dialogue with japanese culture through oral tradition
This research contributes to the reflection on the role of libraries as spaces for cultural mediation and highlights rakugo (a Japanese narrative art) as an innovative practice that can enrich the cultural repertoire of library users, promoting an exchange of knowledge. The study adopts a qualitative and exploratory approach, using action research methodology, with participatory observation during the implementation of the cultural mediation activity. Data collection was carried out through records and observations of participants' interactions with storytelling in the rakugo format. The research aims to explore how this traditional storytelling practice can be used to promote cultural knowledge in libraries. To achieve this goal, the study describes the characteristics of rakugo and its presentation dynamics. Preliminary results indicate that, although the participating students were unfamiliar with storytelling practices, the introduction of rakugo in libraries showed potential to enrich participants’ cultural experience, broadening their understanding of Japanese culture.
The presence of the reading mediator as an inspiration in the transformation of readers
In Brazil, there are reading mediators from different backgrounds who occupy territories, including schools, libraries, cultural centers, bookstores, etc. They have been committed to inspiring and training critical readers, who are autonomous in their choices and willing to share the texts they have read and appropriated. The objective of this study is to demonstrate how reading mediation can be an action capable of changing the lives of individuals. The study is characterized as descriptive and qualitative in nature. The data collection technique consists of two stages: an interview with Professor Rovilson Silva, a mediator who works in public schools; and the second stage refers to interviews with a male and female student, who are currently reading mediators in the city of Londrina, Paraná. After the analysis, it was possible to conclude that the reading exchanges and their participation in the mediations carried out by the aforementioned Professor marked the relationship of the mediators with the book and the text, and awakened in them the desire to replicate the mediations in adulthood, since the female student is currently a storyteller and the male student is a writer.

The role of the librarian as a mediator within the school community: an analysis of scientific production
School libraries play a fundamental role, supporting educational programs and supporting students and teachers. Librarians act as educators as they guide and stimulate the personal and intellectual development of the school community, promoting education and culture in a comprehensive manner, inside and outside the library. Therefore, this article aims to identify the role of the librarian within the school community, based on the national scientific literature in the area. Specifically, the aims is to a) survey the bibliographical production related to the research topic; b) discuss the role of the school librarian as an educator; c) present the role of the librarian as an educator within the school community. Methodologically, this article was prepared through basic research, in terms of objectives it is exploratory, descriptive and, in terms of procedures, it is bibliographic. The collection source used was the Base de Dados de Artigos e Referenciais da Ciência da Informação, and the data was processed using a qualitative approach. In total, 21 articles were retrieved, of which eight were selected for analysis and read in full. It is concluded from the research that transforming the role of the school librarian into an active educator in the school community is a difficult task, as he currently has little participation in the educational development of students.

Intersections and challenges of the school library: information literacy from virtual information sources
The research identifies and highlights specialized online information sources that meet the needs of elementary and high school students, promoting information literacy practices and strengthening the integration between libraries and schools. Although libraries play a significant role in early childhood education, there has been a significant decline in library use by elementary and high school students, the period with the highest demand for research activities. With the advancement of technology and the predominance of virtual environments, students face difficulties in efficiently locating reliable information, often resorting to Google, which compromises the scientific quality of their research. This is a descriptive and exploratory study with a qualitative approach, based on a theoretical survey of online databases and a study of the National Common Curricular Base (BNCC). The research revealed that integrating school libraries into teaching, learning, and research processes through information literacy and the appropriate use of information sources provides skills for the quality of students' research. Therefore, the results demonstrate the need to continue and expand research into the creation of a virtual environment that brings together the maximum number of information sources and supports research in school libraries.

Mediation of reading from a discursive perspective: a dialogical, critical and reflective process with the work Chá das Cinco, by Lino Albergaria
This article presents the results of a reading mediation experience based on the book Chá das Cinco, by Lino de Albergaria, carried out with 9th-grade students at Escola de Educação Básica João Dagostim, in Criciúma, Brazil. The project was developed by the Portuguese Language teacher in partnership with the school library, grounded in the assumptions of Materialist Discourse Analysis from the perspective of Eni Orlandi. Reading was approached as a gesture of interpretation, considering that the reader is traversed by history, ideology, and discursive memory. Through guided reading and textual production activities, the project sought to construct a dialogical, critical, and reflective process in which meanings emerge from the relationship between the literary text and lived experience. The study concludes that reading mediation, by legitimizing listening and welcoming plural interpretations, enhances the formation of critical readers capable of producing discourses that question hierarchies and intervene symbolically in the world, reaffirming the role of literature as a discursive practice and a gesture of interpretation
The school library is the ideal place to encourage reading on a wide range of topics and different genres. The objective of the study was to identify wordless books that can be used by mediators in the school library to address the Sustainable Development Goals of the 2030 Agenda. The methodological procedures involved a qualitative documentary study based on the reading and analysis of the 17 goals of the 2030 Agenda, the SDG Reading Club Catalog: Brazil chapter, and works recommended by the National Foundation for Children's and Young Adult Books, recipients of the Jabuti Prize, and belonging to the collection of the National School Library Program, to establish connections with the SDGs. As for the main results, in total, 16 works were identified, divided according to the themes of each objective of the 2030 Agenda. It concludes that it is essential to offer readers works that reflect social, economic, cultural and historical realities so that they can reflect and understand what is happening around them and, if possible, propose solutions that favor the improvement of living conditions and resistance/existence in their communities.
The role of school libraries in ethnic-racial and gender relations: actions of the Contagem das Letras Library and Reading Program
This article presents the work of the Programa de Biblioteca e Leitura – Contagem das Letras, instituted by the Department of Education of the city of Contagem - MG, with the objective of strengthening reading and information policies in the municipality. Considering the significant number of the Black population and the presence of the Arturos quilombola community, recognized as a Cultural Heritage of Minas Gerais, the Program develops projects that value local cultural identity, promoting access to reading and knowledge in the libraries of the Municipal Education Network. Initiatives are presented, such as the virtual shelves Estante Lilás (focused on the fight against gender-based violence) and Estante Griot (dedicated to valuing Afro-Brazilian culture), as well as the holding of training sessions for library professionals with a focus on anti-racist and gender education, culminating in the publication of the Catalog of Actions from Day B – O Feminino em Pauta (a record of the actions developed in the libraries, highlighting the protagonism of Black women). The text emphasizes that the library goes beyond lending books: it is a place of resistance, listening, and social transformation. The actions described demonstrate the potential of school libraries as spaces for cultural mediation and the promotion of diversity, reaffirming the role of the school as a territory for the construction of identities, the recognition of plural knowledge, and the strengthening of the representation of women and Black people in literature and other areas of knowledge.

Revitalization of the school library: a learning space through the articulation between the curricular components of Chemistry and Mathematics
This article presents a pedagogical experience aimed at revitalizing a school library through the articulation between the curricular components of Chemistry and Mathematics, carried out with 12th-grade students from a public high school in the state of Santa Catarina, Brazil. The study is characterized as a qualitative pedagogical intervention based on project-based learning and meaningful learning principles. The activities included an initial diagnosis of the library space, collective planning of interventions, and practical actions such as cleaning with ecological solutions, production of natural paints, reorganization of the collection, development of a simplified classification system for books, and the creation of alternative furniture using reusable materials. The results showed improvements in the physical and organizational conditions of the library, increased functionality of the space, and expanded possibilities for pedagogical use. In addition, the experience fostered student protagonism, collaborative work, and a stronger sense of belonging to the school environment. The initiative demonstrates that integrating different areas of knowledge with sustainable and participatory practices can contribute to redefining the school library as a dynamic space for learning, interaction, and knowledge production.
School libraries in Brazil: between legislation and civil society action
This article analyzes the status of school libraries in Brazil, focusing on the tension between public policy formulation and the role of civil society. Based on a theoretical and documentary review, it discusses the challenges to effectively universalize these institutions, already considering the legislative advances represented by Laws 12.244/2010 and 14.837/2024. The text explores the strategic role of school libraries as spaces for democratizing knowledge, fostering critical thinking, and promoting citizenship. It examines the actions of institutional actors such as the CFB/CRBs System, FEBAB, universities, and organizations like Instituto Ecofuturo and Instituto Pró-Livro, highlighting their efforts in advocacy, oversight, and mobilization. The article concludes that, although the legal framework has evolved, the effective implementation of school libraries as a public policy requires coordinated action across governmental levels, fostering, and continuous civil society engagement. Thus, the universalization of school libraries emerges as an ethical, political, and educational imperative for strengthening democracy and building a fair and knowledgeable society.

The illustrated children's book in the library: literary mediation for distinguishing topics
This article aims to develop a plan for the performance of the children's and young adult literary reading mediator in libraries, committed to sustainable development. To this end, it adopts the contributions of Feres (2023) regarding studies on amorous discourse in the approach of "fracturing" themes conveyed in illustrated children's and young adult literature books. In addition, it considers the guidelines of the UN's 2030 Agenda to discuss reading strategies in libraries to foster a more inclusive society. This is a qualitative research that discusses the differences between illustrated books and books with illustrations. To develop our proposal, we covered the following stages: (1) reading and discussion of the terms "fracturing theme" and "amorous discourse" (Feres, 2023); (2) selection of an illustrated book that presented a difficult-to-address theme through the discourse that leads the reader to the construction of meaning and the exit from the situation presented; (3) analysis of the selected book based on the UN's 2030 Agenda and the considerations of Feres (2023); (4) elaboration of criteria for the mediation of reading the illustrated book in the library space. This work presents a proposal for a reading mediation action for welcoming and social transformation via loving discourse.
Adaptation of bibliographic classification for children's and youth collections in school libraries
Introduction: It is a great challenge for information professionals and librarians to adapt the bibliographic classification and organization of children's and young people's collections in order to make it more effective for preschool and literacy-readers to retrieve and locate information. Objective: To analyze and reflect on the problems involving bibliographic classification, organization of children's and young people's collections, and their specificities and complexities in order to meet the demands and peculiarities of each reader group. Method: The methodology used was a bibliographic review with a qualitative approach. Results: Information on bibliographic classification adapted to children's and young people's collections is scarce; however, it was possible to associate the available information for the discussion on the theme and the reality of libraries with children's and young people's collections. Conclusion: The collections of the CEU Cidade Dutra library and BIJU at UNIRIO are examples of how the classification of items for school library collections are models to be applied in these educational information environments.

Luther's discourse in favor of the popularization of knowledge: languages, schools, and popular libraries
This article, from the perspective of discourse analysis as a theoretical and methodological framework, aims to analyze the Lutheran discourse in defense of the popularization of knowledge. The analysis corpus consists of four documents written by Martin Luther, namely: To the Christian Nobility of the German Nation on the Reform of the Christian State (1520); Letter to the Councilmen of All the Cities in Germany that They Establish and Maintain Schools (1524); A Sermon on Keeping Children in School (1530); and An Open Letter on Translating (1530). To analyze the documents, the concepts of reading, conditions of production, discursive formation, and ideology were mobilized. From these concepts, it can be stated that the German reformer, within a discursive space marked by tensions, contributed to the institutionalization of meanings concerning popular languages, schools, and libraries. Considering the current historical moment in Brazil, characterized by profound social inequalities and a growing adherence of the population to Protestant churches and the evangelical movements originating from them, it is concluded that an articulation of strategies promoting reading and access to books is necessary. This is essential to combat the political and religious use of disinformation and to achieve an effective popularization of knowledge.

African and afro-brazilian literature in early childhood education: what has been produced and discussed about it
Working as a teacher in the Municipal Education Network, I observe the lack of collections of African and Afro-Brazilian literature in Early Childhood Education, even though Law 10.639 of 2003 has mandated the teaching of African and Afro-Brazilian History. Recognizing the relevance of this issue, which can directly influence the way children perceive themselves and the world around them, this article aims to present what has been produced and discussed on the topic from the State of the Art by the authors Santos et al. (2020), through the survey and analysis of publications that include the descriptors, “Early Childhood Education” and “African literature”. As a result, it is possible to point out that the topic has been studied in greater volume in elementary school, especially in 6th to 9th grade, but studies focused on Early Childhood Education are still superficial.

“The library as a place of learning”: a possible dream or a utopia?
A review is a type of text that evaluates a work and, in an opinionated way, discusses it. In this case, we focus on the recent publication of the book “A biblioteca como lugar de aprendizagem”, by author Bernadete Campello. Composed of 29 chapters, the book presents, in an engaging and engaging manner, various themes from the world of the school library, such as: information skills; the research process; teacher-librarian collaboration; the construction of the librarian's educational role; reader development; school library networks and parameters; collection development and organization; technology in the school library, among others. The work is intended for a broad audience interested in the themes of Education and Library Science, not limited to the academic public. The importance of the library in the school is evident as a resource that needs attention from school management so that it can become an effective participant in the school's dynamics and the students' teaching-learning process.
User education and Peer Instruction: a library class model for understanding concepts in the school
The purpose of this study is to develop a library lesson model that uses an active learning methodology to help students understand concepts related to the environment/universe of the school library. We conducted a literature review and focused on the active Peer Instruction methodology proposed by Eric Mazur by doing exploratory research. We developed a library lesson model divided into four phases (Phase 1: Organizing groups of students; Phase 2: Assigning concepts to the groups; Phase 3: Applying the Peer Instruction steps to the groups; Phase 4: Result and consolidation of the action). Phase 3 consists of seven steps (Step 1: Question posed; Step 2: Students think about the question; Step 3: Students record individual answers; Step 4: Students convince their classmates of the concept; Step 5: Students record the group’s revised answer; Step 6: Feedback to the librarian; Step 7: Explanation of the correct answer by the librarian). The study concludes that active collaborative learning methodologies play an important role in schools presently. They enable the student to become the protagonist of their learning, while the librarian and teachers serve as mentors, guiding the reflections, clarifications, and advancements of the classes in the pedagogical activities. Peer Instruction as an active collaborative learning methodology has proven to be a viable tool for increasing user education in school libraries, having the librarian in partnership with the teaching staff. This strategy would provide students with an in-depth understanding of the library sphere and, consequently, have a positive impact on the user education process.
School libraries: Brazil and Portugal: guidelines and guidance for the formation/construction of school libraries
Objective: The objective of this study is to investigate the parameters for the design and construction of school libraries. Furthermore, we seek to verify and analyze school libraries in Brazil and Portugal. Methodology: The methodology used in the present study has a quali-descriptive and exploratory nature, a literature review and also used international guidelines and standards/guidelines from organizations such as the American Association of School Librarians, International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions, International Association of School Librarianship, United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization and School Libraries Network. The reality of school libraries in Brazil includes their absence in most Brazilian schools. Data from the National Institute of Educational Studies and Research Anísio Teixeira indicate that most Brazilian schools do not have libraries. Result: The results reveal that many Brazilian schools, in addition to not having school libraries, do not hire trained librarians, as the legislation requires that libraries of the most varied types and formats be managed, organized, information processing and research guidance to the reader be carried out by professionals with university training in Librarianship, and library attendants are required to have a library technician course. Conclusion: We came to the conclusion that there has been progress in relation to the number of school libraries, but it is still below the ideal basics, poor academic preparation and the absence of either the school library and/or the school librarian is still prevalent in a large part of the education system. basic education.

Adaptation of the Dewey Decimal Classification for the children’s and Young adult collection at the Municipal Library of Marília “João Mesquita Valença”: a successful experience
The Municipal Library of Marília "João Mesquita Valença" is an information center that offers updated materials in various languages and adaptations. With a diverse collection, the Library serves a wide range of users, including young readers who represent about 16% of the library's patrons. These young readers have access to a specific collection, organized by an exclusive classification that has been tested and validated. Classification plays a crucial role in the organization and accessibility of collections, establishing direct communication with users. However, traditional systems like the Dewey Decimal Classification can limit this communication, especially for children's and young adult collections. The notation 028.5, generally used for children's and young adult collections, groups various genres and themes without clear differentiation, making it difficult for young users to locate books independently. In light of this problem, it was observed that the classification used in Brazilian public libraries does not fully meet the needs of young users. Based on observations and reports from Municipal Library of Marília librarians, it was concluded that the rigid structure of the Dewey Decimal Classification needed adaptation. Thus, the proposed objective was to adapt the 800 class of the Dewey Decimal Classification to improve the organization and accessibility of children's and young adult collections, facilitating the independent location of books by young readers. This adaptation aimed to enhance the use of the collection, promoting a better reading and exploration experience in the library.

Proposal to create a specialized social network using of Giphy technology for disseminassion the library's services of UFSC
From a perspective that the Digital Humanities arise to account for a contemporary reality of technology present in traditional sources of information (Castro; Pimenta, 2018), this article points to a modern problem regarding the lack of knowledge of the information services offered by university libraries of the Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC). Thus, increasing engagement with users through platforms that provide information services through social media. Digital technology mainly promotes content, such as social networks (Araújo, 2021). In this sense, libraries seek to modernize and increasingly use technology to their advantage through social media. This article addresses a proposal to the Communication and Marketing Commission of the University Library (BU), to design an academic social network whose objective is to expand the dissemination of BU/UFSC services. The creation of a specific specialized social network for the academic public is primarily justified by the fact that the main services offered by the Libraries are aimed at the students of the University. The article also proposes using giphy technology within the academic social network of BU/UFSC, publicizing the Library's services. The giphys will be created using GifMaker and Canva software based on existing materials and videos on BU's social media.

Performance of the school librarian in the pandemic, according to the vision of Abes
The pandemic caused by the coronavirus (COVID-19) has had major impacts around the world, especially in the area of ​​education, where the school librarian is inserted, causing major changes in their performance, in terms of the services provided to the school community. Realizing this new scenario, the School Library Working Group belonging to the Association of Librarians of Espírito Santo (ABES), developed the present research aiming to identify if the educational institutions inserted the librarian in this new teaching format, as well as to present the conditions of work of the librarian in this period and what activities were developed by them, which are or are not part of their attributions. As for the methodology, it is a qualitative-quantitative approach, having as a data collection instrument the use of a questionnaire applied to librarians in the State of Espírito Santo. After collecting the data, it was possible to verify that most of the librarians participating in this research had already returned to work in person (since the vaccination process had already started). We identified that even though there were no face-to-face classes, most librarians tried to maintain interaction with their students in a virtual way and the main activities carried out during this moment signaled by the librarians were: reading club, virtual shelves, reading tips, videos of storytelling stories, quizzes and games. The results showed that during the pandemic, digital tools were part of the process of reinventing school libraries, but most librarians do not have basic resources such as computer and internet in their libraries and that many were unfortunately subjected to function deviation during this period.
Reading has been present in society since the beginning of civilization and with the emergence of technology it has made it possible to access that was not possible before. However, for the individual to know how to search, select and make efficient use of information, he needs skills that I acquired with literacy and literacy. From this premise, we seek to demonstrate the importance of literature in this process and how to properly use the school library with collaborative activities performed by the librarian and teachers aimed at the appropriation of this skill. As a research method, bibliographic research was used, involving a literature review with studies from 2015 to 2020 contained in the following databases: Reference Database of Journal Articles in Information Science (BRAPCI) and in the Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (BDTD – IBICT). Using the following descriptors for the search: Literacy, Literacy, Literature, School Library, Collaborative work, using the Boolean operators AND and the quotation marks to create a well-defined search. As well as directive and normative documents of education. As a result, we base the definition of literacy and literacy and how the two go together, and the importance of the collaborative work of the librarian and teachers for the teaching-learning process.
School libraries in teaching cooperatives
In order to identify the gap of research related to the context of school libraries in the context of cooperative schools, this paper aims to present a descriptive analysis of the main research identified that relate school libraries, private education, private education and cooperative education, in the context of publications in Librarianship and Information Science. The bases selected for this bibliographic verification were BENANCIB and BRAPCI and only national works were considered at this point. Once verified, from the bibliographic survey and literature review, the scarcity of scientific papers published on the relationship between the issues listed, a descriptive presentation of the structure of Teaching Cooperatives is developed, highlighting the case of São Carlos Educational School, from the method "Experience Report" with the purpose of demonstrating how it is possible and feasible to make available a school library, with a hired Librarian, who develops actions concatenated to the ongoing pedagogical projects in private teaching environments.
Information behavior and information literacy for the Brazilian reality: how information can support young people in situations of social vulnerability
This article presents a reflection on informational behavior and informational literacy. It exposes the indispensability of the informational literacy, considered a beacon of the information society, to be aligned with the Brazilian reality. In a comment of the classic and established models in the literature; a confrontation is made toward these models and the profile of most Brazilian students: young people in situations of social vulnerability. The question presented is: what makes the information cycle (need-search-use) not to start and/or not to conclude suitably (culminating in knowledge) as a process for these low-income students of public schools? The most significant reasons, considered capable of undermining the search for information, are exposed and the conclusion leads to the need to broaden the epistemological and practical bases of information science, so that the librarians can achieve knowledge on their public, and offer informational strategies consistent with their reality. Keywords: Informational Behavior. Informational Literacy. Sensibility. User Study.
