The theme of this research work addresses Federal Law No. 12,244 of May 24, 2010, which discusses the universalization of school libraries and the actions that school librarians in Sergipe and Salvador have on this Law and what are the challenges encountered for the effective implementation of Law 12,244/2010. This research aimed to: verify the action of school librarians in Aracaju and Salvador regarding Law 12,244/2010; analyze, through a literature review, the works published on Law 12,244/2010; Identify, based on the opinion of librarians working in the cities of Aracaju and Salvador, which challenges were found for the effective implementation of Law 12,244/2010. The methodology used was descriptive, with a qualitative and quantitative approach, in which a questionnaire with open and closed questions was used as a data collection technique, applied to a sample of seventeen school librarians. As a result, it was found that most of the research subjects are female, occupy the age group between 26 and 65 years old, the highest level of education is the master's level training and most respondents work in libraries from the private network. There are some research/work groups focused on the theme of the school library, but in this research we observed that only one of the respondents participates in any group. The Law has completed 10 years since its approval, but for the majority there has been no progress in its implementation and because it has not been put into effect within the given period, the lawmakers have extended the aforementioned Law for another 04 years, where most of the research subjects have already learned. Since 2010, the year the Law was passed, they learned about it through the university as students, on councils and on social networks. As for the active librarians, actions were used such as awareness of managers, encouragement of reading, giving greater visibility to the library regarding the application of the Law. The barriers (difficulties) that libraries face in order to comply with the Law are varied. , such as the lack of inspection and punishment by the competent bodies, to the lack of recognition both of the importance of school libraries and of the professional librarian. For this, measures such as strengthening public policies and the interest of serious and committed politicians who can join forces to provide visibility for the effective implementation of Law 12.244/0. We conclude that the school librarians who participated in the survey showed to be engaged and updated on what the Law referred to and this is a very important point for our class, as it is seen that these professionals are developing actions for the Law to take greater proportions and reach all audiences that are part of the institutions.
