Abstract

The place of the school library in Minas Gerais between 1920 and 1940 is discussed. The statements of the New School Movement are evaluated, namely, setting up and structuring of school libraries, reading modes and textbook setup. Current article analyzes laws, government decrees, letters, board reports and inspection books and codices. It also discusses articles on school library, reading and books, published by the Revista do Ensino. Results show that the school library complied to Republican and Modernist ideas, or rather, the hygienist and New School ideal in its practice, space and book collections.
