Considering the school library as a space for the training of readers and pedagogical resource, we present a literature review on legislation in favor of the school library, its structure, equipment, collections, its use, the importance of having a qualified professional and the interrelation the librarian with the teachers, so that the teaching and learning process of students is facilitated and enhanced. In order to contribute and promote access to and use of the book, the federal government has regulatory frameworks for library, book and reading policy. We also discussed the need for effective and continuous training for librarians, teachers and reading agents, in order to strengthen the library as a democratic environment for access to knowledge, for reading actions, based on the objectives, functions and mission of the school library. The library is an instrument for the development of culture and also of the school curriculum, as it nourished reading and, consequently, generates learning, but for this process to be effective, an intimate partnership with teachers is necessary, and government policies must be made, foreseeing and consolidating the necessary investments to the school library.
