This research deals with creativity and innovative practices in the context of school libraries in the municipality of Florianópolis. In this way, it conceptualizes creativity, innovation, entrepreneurship and its types, focusing on cultural entrepreneurship, as it characterizes the projects planned in libraries. With this, the main objective of this research is to analyze the innovative practices in the public and private school libraries of the city of Florianópolis. It has descriptive exploratory character, with qualitative-quantitative approach. Data collection was done through an online questionnaire with the librarians and responsible for public school libraries registered on the website of the Library Network of the Municipality of Florianópolis and private schools affiliated with the Santa Catarina Private School Union (SINEPE / SC). In addition, innovative initiatives found in the literature were presented to demonstrate some possible practices to be carried out in school libraries, and innovative perspectives that could be implemented in these environments were also contributed as a contribution to the training of citizens. As a result of the data collection, it was possible to obtain an overview of the current situation of the municipality in relation to cultural entrepreneurship and innovative practices carried out by school libraries. It is concluded that some professionals have tried to modify their practices in order to act more actively in teaching learning, meanwhile, these initiatives are still shy and depend on a proactive change of the professionals that in many situations are left unmotivated by the difficulties not visualizing the possibilities to undertake within school libraries. It is hoped that this work can contribute to awakening the necessary attitudinal change to these professionals, therefore possible, the transformation of the libraries.
