The Ministry of Education, Culture and Sport nominated Santos to succeed Glòria Pérez-Salmerón as the head of the National Library of Spain. After the nomination, Santos was involved in the set up of the digital legal deposit.
In April 2014, she worked on the approval fora resolution that would regulate the granting of ''librarian emérito'' to those professionals who stood out in their services to the institution. In July 2014, she was involved in regulatory law of the National Library of Spain, which would endow to the library a greater autonomy, as well as a similar status to the Museum del Prado and the National Museum Arts centre Queen Sofia.
