Sažetak
The world of education is changing, and changes affect all its components. Education development focuses on learning processes aimed at acquiring basic knowledge, problem-solving skills, preparing for future challenges and developing skills and lifelong learning. &quot ; Knowledge for life&quot ; today means the need to revive and develop the independence, competence, innovativeness, ability to maintain and restore the art by shaping a more quality and humane mutual social relationship. It is a possibility for the development of the necessary potentials and a source of vital knowledge, values ​​and skills for the benefit of individuals and nations. Modern libraries by transforming their services meet the growing educational requirements while simultaneously taking on a more significant place in the education world. In the past, libraries have focused on their funds and their size as a measure of their own quality and importance. Today, given the needs and requirements of the contemporary environment, educational orientation is necessary for all libraries, especially libraries operating in the education system.This paper deals with the importance and impact of school libraries providing support to the education of pupils of national minorities' schools. The paper deals specifically with the school libraries of the Italian national minority operating within the educational system of the Republic of Croatia. The school library is considered as a place of learning and information, and a librarian as an associate in teaching, a partner in the communication of material content and cultural activities, and intercultural cooperation and minority promotion in the community where the school operates. The school-library profession in the educational environment is a relatively young profession, which is expected to utilize but also develop the potential offered by technology, orienting itself to the educational and information needs of students and teachers. As an associate in the classroom, the school library through its work with students and teachers ensures the relevance of the program by orienting to the generic skills and knowledge of &quot ; how to learn&quot ; and how to access, find and evaluate and interpret information to make them aware. The aim of this paper is to show libraries as places of lifelong learning through the librarian' s task of information education by orienting to generic skills and knowledge of how to learn and access, find and evaluate and interpret information to make them aware. Access / methodology: In this paper, by applying the qualitative approach and analysis of the library work program, we will show what are the activities of the library and what is the meaning of the library in education. Results: The paper is expected to provide a clearer picture of the meaning and role of libraries and librarians in education through a systematic overview of the work program. Originality / Value: The work fills the relative emptiness in the existing literature on the library' s educational function.
