Biblioteca escolar e a convivência com sua comunidade: um estudo de caso na biblioteca de uma escola da Prefeitura em Caucaia-CE

Abstract

The context of the school library shows a precarious scenario, especially when it comes to public school libraries. Provisions have been made to improve this situation, but changes have happened slowly, given that first of all there should be an awareness of the value of the school library. Thus, the general aim is to study the social contribution of a school library of the public network of the municipality of Caucaia. The specific aims are: A) To analyze the actions developed in the scope of this school library regarding reading; B) To express the teachers' opinions regarding the activities carried out by the school library, as well as their physical structure and diversity and comprehensiveness of the collection; C) To understand the perception of the studied school community about Law 12.244/2010 as a space for research and knowledge exchange. A descriptive research was carried out. The method used was the Case Study. The field research was conducted at a public school in the municipality of Caucaia-CE. The data were collected through observation and interviews, and the population was made up of School Managers, thi Library Collaborator and Teachers. The analyzes and discussions of the collected data are shown and, finally, the final considerations, where it is perceived that the lack of the presence of the librarian is felt by the school community, and that library improvements are expected in the face of the intensification of the struggle to optimize teaching and learning in the country.
