Abstract

This current research aims to evaluate the impact caused by the Reading Project Biblioteca Saudável: prática de leitura na Unidade Básica de Saúde Nilson José de Souza (Healthy Library: reading practice in the Basic Unity of Health Nilson José de Souza), with the community of Cristo, in Cajazeiras, Paraíba. The project‟s purpose is to bring informations to supplement the given guidances during the procedures performed with users, in search of medical, dental and nursing assistance. In the reading activities of the project, the most used genre is the pamphlet. Because it is an instructive genre, it contains short informations, objective and simple language, which is ideal to the project‟s goal, regarding the space and time devoted to this practice. From the users' interests in obtaining information, it sought also to list figures and these underlying issues to them, in an attempt to know among these elements, which are those of greatest interest to users, as well as the receptivity of the project by community. For this reason, a questionnaire was applied in order to collect data on the most requested themes in discussions and collective readings, and also on the acceptance of the project. Data were analyzed quantitatively through charts and qualitatively based on the reading theories and discourse semantics of greimasian semiotics. The main reference sources for this work are the approaches of Soares (2004, 2009) and Kleiman (1995, 2006, 2007), Oliveira (2010), Freire (2008, 2013) and Silva (1981), concerning the text and the reading; Marcuschi (2002, 2008) and Bakhtin (2003) on the genres; Castro (2013) and Cano (2010) on the pamphlet; and Greimas (1979) on the discourse semantics. From the analysis, it was found that through the participation and opinions of readers, the Reading Project obtained good acceptance, was impressive, reaching its goal, raising citizens in their critical ability, as users sought to take readings, seeking to know more about the problems surrounding, positively changing their behavior, as well as it was possible to identify the most requested themes by users.
