Sumario:This article examines the various regulatory frameworks and recommendations concerning the role of the school librarian, addressing several key areas. Firstly, to contextualize the topic, the international landscape is briefly analyzed, highlighting the contributions of prominent educational and library organizations that issue recommendations that, although not mandatory, establish fundamental principles and general guidelines to inform the formulation of regulatory and legal frameworks. Next, the focus shifts to the Spanish national context, encompassing educational legislation with implications for the library sector, as well as regional legislation that includes regulations pertaining to both libraries and education. To prepare this study, a search for, identification of, and review of relevant legislation were conducted to ascertain the existing regulations. The analysis reveals, it is evident that school libraries and the professional profile of the school librarian hold limited prominence in state and regional legislation in Spain. Furthermore, regulations pertaining to school libraries are primarily derived from the educational rather than the library sphere. There are international recommendations on the professional profile of the school librarian, but they remain non-binding, serving only as guidelines to provide support and direction to the library community.
