To recognize the existence of devices, such as libraries, as producers of meaning, is also to determine the effect of cultural mediation as acts of meaning, experienced with modes of interaction between different cultural experiences. Monitoring activities are understood as socio-cultural practices and processes of assertive subjects in the construction of meaning, referring to the production and reception of symbolic goods and devices as spaces of cultural appropriation. Thus, the paper aims to review the literature on the reflection of cultural mediation (focusing on reading practices)in socio-cultural environments, specifically in public libraries.
