In this work, we have resumed a moment of the story of Campina Grande' s municipal public library (BPMCG), focusing mainly on its process of creation (occured in 1983) and its first year of working, as an attempt to answer the following questions: What's the history of the BPMCG and how does this institution was inserted in the cultural context of the city in the First years after its foundation? What were the social groups that defended its creation? Which were the motivations that led them to propouse the creation? How did the competent authorities and the population in general receive the Idea? Therefore, we have observed its insertion mode in the society on that period and the representations built around the institution. For this purpouse, our corpus was composed by oficial documents published on “A voz da Borborema” news, that register how the foundation/ opening process of this reading space was, as well as the news that approched there percussion of this fact in the society.
