Abstract

The paper focuses the need to develop public policies for libraries in Brazil in order to change the reality shown by the 1st National Census of Municipal Public Libraries. Considering the panorama of public policies for the area, we conclude that despite the positive changes on the federal government, there is little on the overall national reality. The state and municipal governments are not aware of the importance to gather efforts to built public policies. On this context, it emphasizes the necessity to develop a studies and methodologies to explain the causes and consequences of governmental actions.
