ABSTRACT
Over time, the school library has changed its profile, opening the door to cultural mediation by trying to leave behind the stigma of a quiet place, and demanding a new performance from the school librarian. This article aims to analyze the path taken by the school library in Brazil in order to reflect on its current configuration as a space for cultural mediation and the role of the librarian-info-educator in the current context of these spaces, through exploratory bibliographical and documentary research, and a review of the school library concept. As a result, we can affirm the fundamental role of the school library in training its users through a practice that goes beyond supporting the classroom and encouraging reading, as well as the need for trained professionals to do so.
