The library of the Institute of Alajuela carried out an experience of induction and formation of users and made incursion in the literacy in information and got involved in the task of the process of teaching-learning as an integral part of the curriculum. The library's actions in the development of strategies for the search, location, selection and use of information brought about changes in the institutional community with respect to the role played by the library, the librarian, the book and information in the educational environment. The purpose of sharing this experience is to provide information that can motivate the staff of educational institutions that wish to venture into the field of information literacy as a support strategy in the development of skills for permanent self-learning and significant learning. Today, the library must be a proactive component in the education of students, but also of teachers, administrators and family members. This will result in a benefit for Costa Rica: the integral development of the youth and their adequate insertion in the work environment.
