This analyzes the existing reading and informational practices in four community libraries of rereading – Pernambuco, Brazil, based on two pillars: the actions it performs and the behaviors/ experiences/feelings of the subjects involved with these libraries. It uses as a theoretical basis a reflection that seeks to discuss the concept of reading in a broad way, as well as its relationship with the concepts of mediation and appropriation of information and sketches considerations about the concept of information and its implications with informational practices. It also elaborates conceptual explanationabout community libraries, seeking to understand the singularities of this typology of libraries, as well as presents the Releitura-PE. From the methodological point of view, it carries out a bibliographic study, together with an empirical investigation of the collection of information about community libraries and the collection of testimonies of the individuals that are part of these libraries, such as managers, reading mediators and interactors, through semi-structured interviews, which were analyzed and categorized using the Content Analysis, technique. It concludes that the reader's and informational practices of the subjects are multiple and are revealed individually, in the ways of reading and informing themselves, as well as collectively, in the following practices: management, organization and political incidence; training and qualification of the team; communication and dissemination of actions; mediation of reading and cultural actions; Articulation with local entities and interaction with the library. The library, in turn, was considered a living space, a place of coexistence, reading, learning and leisure, as well as an instrument of politicization and development of citizenship and autonomy of the individuals.
