This research aims to understand the educational practice of Brazilian school librarians, seeking to clarify: whether this practice is restricted to the promotion of reading, if librarians are involved in teaching informational skills and in what extent they are contributing to student’s information literacy. Analysis was made based on a qualitative/interpretative approach. The sample group was made up of 28 librarians, 14 of them from government schools and 14 from private schools, from nine different states. Data were collected through reports, interviews and group discussion. Results showed that the main focus of the librarian educational practice is on attracting students to the library and reading. Librarians’ performance in regard to the research process proves true the assumption that there is an incipient action toward the practice of information literacy in Brazilian school libraries, but librarians still need to move further in order to contribute effectively to develop student’s information literacy.
