It points out the need to value the school librarian, its importance as an educating agent and the need for partnership with teachers, expanding learning outside the classroom. For this, the practice of information literacy is used, in which the librarian plays a fundamental role of mediator, as a way to enable individuals to be able to carry out, in an autonomous way, the activities of identification and use of reliable sources of information for making decisions and problem solving inside and outside the school space. It presents itself as a literature review and addresses the school library, mediation and literacy, establishing relationships between the areas. It is concluded that the partnership between teachers and librarians is of fundamental importance, however the school library still encounters some obstacles involving the application of laws responsible for mandatory implementation of libraries in schools.
