The article aims to address the social function of university libraries, in particular, the initiatives of the Irmão José Otão Main Library of PUCRS. Therefore, it discusses the Marist vision in which the Library is inserted, the practices adopted in serving the university and external community, the cultural actions developed, as well as the partnerships that promote humanization. The bibliographic reference also links the sustainable development proposed by Agenda 2030 with the role of libraries. It is concluded that the university library plays a broader role than just serving the academic community. By promoting equal access to information and practices that spread culture,this institution contributes to the development of conscientious and engaged citizens.
