Ecclesiastical and religious archives are those that reflect the multifaceted activities of theCatholic Church. A teaching project on documentary sources kept in ecclesiastical archives is herewith presented with the aim to be implemented in cooperation with the school library. The Pontifical Commission for the Cultural Heritage of the Church published a circular letter on the pastoral function of ecclesiastical archives in which it is stated that archives were considered to be the places of memory of Christian communities and cultural factors for the new evangelisation. The ancient documents 'bear witness to the life and works of the church and together form a unique, essential and irreplaceable documentation, which is primarily intended to serve the church itself but also deserves to be preserved for the benefit of Historical Studies'. However, given their nature, these archives represent a very suitable source to develop school projects that can be carried out both in classrooms and in libraries.

Inclusion is highlighted by several international organisations as a priority to be takeninto account in each country's educational policies. Portugal has been following these guidelinesand commitments, publishing legislation with a comprehensive approach to the concept of‘inclusion’ and monitoring its implementation in educational communities. School libraries, asstructures of the Ministry of Education, integrate, in their action plans, reading promotion projectsaimed at specific audiences. The main aim is the integration of all students, creating conditions forthem to fully enjoy the benefits of reading. In this article, we present the results of the project "AllTogether We Can Read", implemented in 62 schools over the last five years. Although there areareas for improvement, the evaluation reports point to a strong impact of the project in improvingstudent learning and af irming the school library as a structure for pedagogical innovation andknowledge induction.

All other academic learning depends on one’s ability to read and the body of evidenceproving that reading is good for us in innumerable ways is abundant. The literature indicatesthat not only does reading make us smarter, but it also improves our concentration, focus andmemory; develops our communication skills and ability to empathise; reduces stress andhelps us sleep better; prevents age-related cognitive decline and even makes us live longer:reading could be considered the elixir of life!

The concept of intellectual freedom includes a wide range of interlocking rights such asfreedom to read, freedom of expression, freedom to speak, freedom of the press, freedom to know,and social responsibility, all of which are foundational to a democratic society and to schooling ina democratic society. The fundamental rights of children are rarely addressed in discussions ofintellectual freedom, and in Canada and in the United States, children’s intellectual freedom rightsincreasingly are being curtailed by politicians, courts, school administrators, and sometimes byteacher-librarians themselves. There are resources that teacher-librarians can utilize when dealingwith issues related to intellectual freedom, especially when the rights of children are at risk. Onevaluable resource is a national database of library challenges. Recognizing children’s rights wouldmean including the interests of children and young adults (from birth to age 18) in the discussionsand deliberations related to intellectual freedom and freedom of expression.
