Proposta de criação de uma biblioteca para a Escola Municipal de Ensino Infantil e Fundamental Renato Ribeiro Coutinho Cruz do Espírito Santo – PB

Abstract

The school library is an environment that favors and provides children and young people a pleasure for reading and, therefore, expands knowledge through information. The present research aims to propose the creation of a School Library at the Renato Ribeiro Coutinho Municipal School of Early Childhood Education (RRC), located in the urban area of the City of Cruz do Espírito Santo - PB. The research was characterized as exploratory and descriptive, with a qualitative approach, whose instrument used for data collection were a questionnaire containing objective and subjective questions. The subjects being the Elementary School teachers of that school. This proposal highlights the importance of the school library becoming a visible space in the school context through the participation of students and teachers. Through the results, we infer that the current reading room in the choice Renato Ribeiro Coutinho’s School does not meet the needs of students and teachers in the teaching and learning process, as it is a small place that has been used as a reading room and warehouse as well where some random materials are kept close to a little amount of textbooks and few educational books which are found disorganized and consequently no presence of students. We expect, therefore, that the library should be the place where answers to questions are found and should be used as didactic and pedagogical support with the interaction between the teacher and the librarian.
