This study aims to identify and analyze the current situation of school libraries belonging to the city of Caucaia, considering its relevance for a later creation of the school library system of the city. And specific goals: a) Identify the existing school libraries in the municipality; b) Know and characterize the users who use the school library; c) Present the services offered by these libraries; d) Verify the types of professionals working in these libraries; e) Analyze the environments of these libraries regarding space, accessibility and collection. To perform the diagnosis we used the descriptive and exploratory research through data collection conducted through a questionnaire of twelve closed questions sent to all schools in the city to gather information from those responsible for school libraries. For the theoretical basis we use several authors as follows: Wedge, Souza, Martins, Motta, Antunes, Campello, Pimentel, Fragoso, Costa, Araújo, among others. We characterize the school libraries regarding the physical structure, collection, human resources, services and users. From the information gathered, we found that this study can serve as a support for the creation of the School Library System of Caucaia - Ceará.
