This paper discusses the culture and its instrumentalization in the form of public policies within the Brazilian libraries. It aims to know to what extent the libraries are inserted in the national policies of culture - National Plan of Culture and the National Plan of the Book and Reading - and how the goals of these plans have been applied. It is established a review of the programs and projects developed in three libraries of Cariri Cearense - Library Inspiração Nordestina in Juazeiro do Norte, Library of the Center of Arts and Sports in Barbalha and the Public Library of the city of Crato - due to the variety and cultural diversity existing in that location. It carries out the study through a bibliographical review and the application of questionnaires for librarians and assistants of the libraries analyzed. It concludes that although there are many difficulties and barriers to the full functioning of libraries, actions and activities contribute to the achievement of the goals proposed in the plans, as well as the relevance of this discussion within Librarianship, since speaking in cultural politics is refer to informational phenomena, which evoke questions of use, appropriation and circulation of information, as well as in production and organization of knowledge.
