The analysis is preceded by a discussion of the conceptions attributed of the practices and the approach of the National Program Library of School – PNBE, which has been the largest distributor of literary works among the Brazilian public schools. Furthermore, we made a brief overview of the emergence of children’s literature in Brazil and the importance of literature in the school context to then reach the central part of this study which are representations of reading (more specifically literary) present in the narratives that circulate in Brazilian public schools through government procurement. Thus, the work aims to contribute to the formation of the reader literary manners, to improve the reading public polices in Brazil and for understanding the relationship between literature for children and youth, reading and school.
