In a society depicted by an unlimited growth of information enabled by modern technology, the role of School Libraries must be rethought. The current descriptive study with gathering of data revolves around the relationships between the School Library and the Teachers of a Secondary School with the 3rd Cycle of Basic Education. The study aimed at assessing the ways teachers use the School Library; determine other School Library integration/ articulation possibilities in the curriculum development and its applications; and know the teachers' opinion on indicators that the School Libraries' Self-Evaluation Model proposes concerning the curricular articulation of the School Library with other pedagogical structures and teachers. The development of the study allowed to observe that the teachers think that they use the library in a more participated and diversified way and more often than it really happens. Regarding the School Libraries' Self-Evaluation Model there is a positive framework as far as its application in the school of this study is concerned.

Keywords : teachers; school Library; relationship; curriculum development; self-evaluation.
