The Program School Library Network was lauched in 1996, it was
aimed at installing and developing libraries in state schools at all level,
supplying its users with the necessary resources to read, access, use
and produce information.
This program is coordinated by School Library Network Office, and it
depends upon the Ministry of Education that controls and articulates
itself with other ministry services as regional departments of
educations, municipalities and public libraries.

circumstances do not we all readers. The possibility is in all of us.”
Alberto Manguel (free translation)
• "Nem toda a gente é leitora, mas acho que, no fundo, é porque as circunstâncias
fazem que não sejamos todos leitores. A possibilidade está em todos nós.“ Alberto
