A biblioteca escolar como espaço de aprendizado, cultura e inclusão social: uma pesquisa-ação sobre a biblioteca do Colégio Lourenço Filho

Abstract

This research aimed to transform the school library of Colégio Lourenço Filho into a dynamic space for learning, culture, and social inclusion by using thematic campaigns to engage students. For this purpose, action research was adopted, characterized by its participatory approach, which integrates theory and practice. Between April and June 2024, activities focused on animal protection, the appreciation of Brazilian and regional literature, and the prevention of child sexual abuse were developed. Data collection was conducted through participant observation and an interview with the librarian, enabling a qualitative analysis of the impact of the actions. The results indicated an increase in student attendance at the library, greater interest in reading, and critical reflections on the addressed themes. Furthermore, the integration of playful activities and educational content proved effective in creating a more interactive and inclusive environment. It is concluded that innovative strategies applied to the library space enhance its role in students' social and cultural development, consolidating the school library as a multidimensional learning environment.
