Abstract

Libraries, reading and information policies are discussed in the construction of a Nation State. It reflects how reading and information constitute channels for the construction of political subjects and how this perspective was conceived in the governments of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and Dilma Rousseff with the implementation of the National Book and Reading Plan created in 2006 and emptied in the governments of Temer and Bolsonaro. It is observed that in a country where the lack of
information, poverty and illiteracy reach acute proportions, access to information through adequate public library services is an urgent need, but the total disarticulation of the PNLL, contributed to the discontinuity of this politics interfering in the construction of the Rule of Law whose dimension is democratic, does not match authoritarianism and does not need reading and information programs to co-solidate itself.
