The formation of readers in Tomé Nunes Quilombola Community and the challenges faced by the absence of a librarian

Abstract

The objective outlined in this study was to identify and highlight the challenges and potential that members of Escola Municipal Senhor do Bonfim have been facing in the training of readers, and what their perception is about the absence of a librarian. As for the methodology, it is a descriptive study with a qualitative and quantitative nature. The method used was the case study, with the technique chosen for data collection being the application of a questionnaire to the teachers who work at the aforementioned School, which is located in the Tomé Nunes Quilombola Community. The results indicated that the main challenge faced by Escola Municipal Senhor do Bonfim is the lack of resources to stimulate interest in reading, as well as the need to expand the collection and activities carried out at Reading Point, which demonstrates, including from the perception of teachers, the importance of a librarian in the school. It was found that the librarian would trigger a dynamic aimed at better management of the information environment, carrying out dissemination and reader training activities, which would effectively contribute to the school community and the quilombola community.
