Percepção dos mediadores de leitura da rede municipal de ensino de Parnamirim/RN sobre a biblioteca escolar

Abstract

It investigates the perception of reading mediators in relation to the school library and information literacy. The study presents issues relevant to school libraries, the reading mediators who work in them, the knowledge about Law 12,244/2010, which deals with the universalization of school libraries in Brazil, and the development of information literacy in the school environment. The research has a descriptive character and follows the inductive approach methodology. It collected data from seventeen reading mediators in the municipal education network of Parnamirim (Rio Grande do Norte) through a questionnaire. The results trace the profile of these professionals, their performance and interests in the school library and show that reading mediators manage too these informational spaces in the city. However, they recognize that they do not master the techniques of library competence and that, therefore, they consider working with a professional trained in librarianship. Finally, it is considered that the research achieved its purpose and that it may yield additional studies.
