READING AND INFORMATIONAL PRACTICES IN COMMUNITY LIBRARIES IN REREADING NETWORK - PE

Authorship SCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

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 explanation about 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.

	MANAGEMENT, ORGANIZATIONAL AND ADVOCACY PRACTICES
Managers (Libraries and rereading)	Creation of the Releitura. Carrying out joint practices and organizing common procedures. Creation of shared management through the development of Work Groups. Partnership with CCLF for the political and educational development of libraries. Partnership with the Reading Pleasure Program (C&A Institute), which provides pedagogical, financial, and incentive support for participation and formulation of public policies for the book, reading, literature, and library sector. Incidence through the FDBLLL/PE in the elaboration and monitoring of State public policies for the cause of the book and library.
Mediators (Reading mediators and educators)	Because it is a shared management, both mediators and managers participate in decisions and act jointly in the articulation and execution of actions.
Interaction Agents	Interactors are the main focus of all management actions carried out by libraries make, although they do not participate directly, its in function of increasingly optimizimg services and spaces and providing a better environment for them that the managers and mediators mobilize those efforts.

	TEAM EDUCATION AND CAPACTIATION PRACTICES
Managers (Libraries and rereading)	Partnerships to empower the team arise to improve the skills these subjects already possess and as a way of harmonizing practice with theory. The CCLF initially had training on how to set up spaces for reading and qualifying community schools for children and later with reading workshops, project preparation, political and social training. The Pleasure in Reading Program provides ongoing training for library professionals as well as meetings, regional and national seminars and study groups for interaction, exchange and creation of information on community libraries. CEEL initially offered a theoretical training involving topics such as reader training and literary reading, which, when merging with the practical activities of libraries, was strengthened and today both maintain a relation of exchange and the library teams also act as formators in projects of the CEEL. The dedication and dedication of the Releitura is emphasized both in articulation and in the execution of these actions.
Mediators (Reading mediators and educators)	These trainings, meetings and exchanges allow mediators and all those involved to improve their activities and their actions within the library and community, as well as in other spaces of action and reflect in their own lives.
Interaction agents	It is from the demands presented by the interactors that the managers and mediators seek ways of perfecting the actions.

	COMMUNICATION PRACTICES AND DISCLOSURE OF ACTIONS
Managers (Libraries and rereading)	Communication takes place internally (community) and externally (outside the community). Forms of printed dissemination (oral, audiovisual and imagery) and in social networks on the internet, highlighting the following media: blog, Facebook, oral communication and posters. The communication in some units was deficient, either due to lack of resources or due to the lack of personnel to carry out these actions. The strategies and actions of communication and dissemination of activities show that in addition to creating information, libraries are concerned with registering and disseminating their activities, revealing a cycle of appropriation, registration and dissemination of information.
Mediators (Reading mediators and educators)
Interaction agents	Interactors present themselves as both recipients and disseminators of information, as well as informing and sharing with their colleagues and family about activities that occur or will occur in libraries either in person or through online social networks.

	READING MEDIATION PRACTICES AND CULTURAL ACTIONS
Managers (Libraries and rereading)	The activities of mediation of reading and cultural actions are revealed by means of various manifestations as practices of mediation and appropriation of reading and information. They involve a whole process of planning and organization for the creation of activities. They include actions with reading, writing, culture, art and play. They promote the development of reading and writing skills, as well as fostering values.
Mediators (Reading mediators and educators)	The reading mediator is the main driver of these actions that seeks to develop appropriate activities for each type of audience and seeks to enhance the inventiveness of each interacting agent. He is also seen as a person of reference by the latter.
Interaction agents	They use interactive and evaluative actions of reading mediation and cultural activities.

Use restricted to other units of information, being the greatest contact with the community library. Acquisition of books is done through access to the community library, purchase or gain. Reading is seen as vital, source of knowledge, humanization and politicization.	Ways to seek information range from books, databases, news portals, social networking sites and colleagues. Predominance of reading written, printed or digital sources. Wide use of the Internet through search engines and social networks and through them, use of other reading modalities such as images, sounds and videos. Use of alternative information channels in function of the manipulating and tendentious character of the great communication vehicles, thus seeking sources that respond to their desires in view of their historical and social contexts of struggle and political engagement.
Mediators (Reading mediators and educators)
Interaction agents	Contact with reading begins in childhood. Greater presence of written text. The liking or learning to read comes with contact with the community library. Preferences for literary genres in series and newly released publications or bestsellers. Use restricted to other units of information, being the community library the biggest contact. Acquisition of books is done through access to the community library. Reading is understood as a source of knowledge, a means for improving speech and writing, a way of traveling in the imagination, humanization, tranquility and self-construction.

	INTERACTION WITH LOCAL ENTITIES PRACTICES
Managers (Libraries and rereading)	Conducted with schools or NGOs. They seek to promote the exchange of actions between the two institutions in order to strengthen and expand access to reading for participating students and children. This action was strengthened through the partnership between Releitura and CEEL.
Mediators (Reading mediators and educators)	Educators and reading mediators plan and implement literacy activities and cultural activities through activities such as reading and re-reading works, reading wheels, book exchanges, reading bags, workshops, school and in the community library.
Interaction agents	They enjoy and interact with the activities by acquiring a taste for reading, reading and research skills, fluency in reading texts and enlarging the symbolic world.

	LIBRARY INTERACTION PRACTICES BY THE INTERACTION AGENTS
Managers (Libraries and rereading)	Each library has a singularity and this peculiarity is related to the way the interactors arrive in the library.
Mediators (Reading mediators and educators)	The relation between proximity and reception that the library staff provides through their attitudes and ambience is a factor that ensures the permanence of the interacting agents in the library and by staying close to the community.
Interaction agents	What attracts the interactors to the library is the reception, attention, quality of the collection and mediators. They interact with the library, especially to read, study, borrow books and talk. The library is considered by them as a place of reading, socializing, study and leisure. They would like to be offered computer courses, more cultural activities, and more recently launched books.
