This curricular unit proposes an expansion of the reflection on the educational role of libraries, considering several types of libraries, in addition to school libraries, such as public libraries or higher education libraries. It is also intended that students learn about different contexts of Portuguese speaking countries where libraries play an essential role in accessing and promoting knowledge and in supporting the development of essential skills to act in today's society.
