Identified by several authors as an essential institution for the development of a citizen, the Information Society presents new challenges and opportunities for public libraries and its duty to develop a citizen able to survive in the Information Society. In this sense, information literacy stands out since it’s essential for the development of autonomous learners, able to access information and use it in a critical and ethical way. Therefore, this article discusses the roles of public libraries in promoting information literacy. To accomplish its goals, this paper’s methodology was bibliographical research, identifying and analyzing the main subjects of research and discussions in the literature nowadays. It also shows alternative approaches to information literacy as an alternative way to the understanding and the development of information literacy within the Public Libraries. The result of these analyses identified the main issues that permeate the subject of this investigation.Downloads
