This article results from a study of a management model for libraries in the public schools that offer basic education linked to the state of Santa Catarina (SC) Public Administration. The study was developed in 2012 and it comprised over a thousand schools distributed in 293 cities in the state. Besides anticipating the creation of 300 librarian positions, the study made possible the emergence of a network model structured in three levels of librarian competence starting from the work place of this professional: a) Central department of the Education Secretary of SC b) regional offices distributed in 36 cities, and, c) Schools. The latest study, from which we detached a part, had the participation of representatives of school librarians in SC and of the Education Secretary of SC. With the ideas discussed in this text, it is intended to extend the discussion about the librarian role with respect to the formation of a network of school libraries within the state public administration.
