Abstract

The aforementioned research aimed to understand the profile of reader users who utilize the services of the Adonay Barbosa dos Santos State Public Library. The quantitative research, of an exploratory and descriptive nature, was applied to 145 users in a face-to-face manner. As a data collection instrument, we used a questionnaire with 15 questions. The majority of respondents, who are between 10 and 20 years old, declared that they use the library for internet access and book borrowing, possess skills with technologies, and use their cell phones to read works. Regarding book reading, a large portion of young people declared that they do not have a reading habit, highlighting that those who do, enjoy fiction and other literary genres. Thus, the study drew a profile of the users of this library, portraying their informational needs and their relationship with reading.
