Comics are a system that uses the union between textual and image elements, which makes it an efficient resource in the formation of new readers. Having this established, this research aimed to investigate if comic books are used in the context of school libraries in Fortaleza-CE, in order to work on the formation of new readers. Furthermore, the relationship that school librarians in Fortaleza have with comic books was explored, as well as their perception on the use of this media within the library. This research is characterized as qualitative, exploratory in nature, to obtain data we chose to use a questionnaire prepared on the Google Forms platform and for the analysis of the data obtained, we opted for the use of content analysis. Altogether, responses were obtained from 10 participants who agreed to participate in the survey. It was identified that school libraries in Fortaleza have comic books in their collection and these publications are used in activities that, among various objectives, seek to form new readers and develop the reading habit in students. As for the relationship of librarians with comics, it was noticed that they are quite receptive to comic books and recognize their importance, but there are still certain remnants of historical conflicts between comics and education professionals. It is therefore concluded that comic books are used in the context of school libraries in Fortaleza, varying according to the reality of each one, however, it is possible to see that part of the librarians are still not very familiar with comic books, which impacts on carrying out activities involving this media. That said, it is necessary to question whether this distancing could be alleviated if librarians had a closer relationship with comics during their professional formation, and if library science and information science focused more on the study of comic books.
