The librarian as school library manager

In order to be developed and stimulated, reading depends on external factors that contribute to the efficiency and formation of reading habits. The strategies used are extremely important if the habit of reading is to become a pleasurable act and not just a compulsory one. The school library should be a welcoming environment, providing options that reach diverse readers, respecting their choices, cultures and age groups. Within the school there is a need to demystify the environment as only being used for research and compulsory work. As Paulo Freire (2002) states, reading the world precedes reading the word. Each reader has their own experiences that should and can be put to good use. The aim of the various activities carried out was to provide all readers with the opportunity to read and learn in a way that would turn it into an efficient action combined with fun and the socialization of knowledge. The methods, resources and activities developed were intended to broaden the student reader's knowledge by diversifying texts capable of convincing the reader and inserting them into the process, without demanding results.
