The act of storytelling has accompanied mankind since the beginning and, in this trajectory, new levels are projected and imposed. Objective: the research is to understand and analyze the act of ‘telling stories’ in the professional trajectory of some school librarians, working in Municipal Elementary Schools in Vila Velha City, Brazil. Method: the methodological articulation is guided by the History of Life method, which resumes the professionals' narratives and examines them in a socio-interactionist approach. Results: storytelling is a manifestation that uses memory to keep culture alive and widespread, the use of cultural practices serves to identify and reconstruct the conjuncture of reading practice, and some interviews point out that the undergraduate course did not prepare them to exercise these activities. Thus, they suggest that the act of storytelling serves to make students aware of the occupation of the library's orb, given the multiple interactions and literary interventions. Conclusion: telling a story brings meaning and value to the teaching-learning process in education, especially to students in elementary school. It should be noted that the librarian and the school library assist with storytelling in children's development, awakening readers and stimulating them to the world of imagination.
