Reading expands the possibility of the subject reaching new horizons while being socially constructed critical. Thus, we understand the role of the community library as a welcoming environment that supports the search, access, use and appropriation of users' information. As for extension activities at the university, they provide rapprochement and dialogue between the academic community and the population. Objective: To investigate the trajectory of the realization of the extension project on reading mediation in the context of the community library, aiming at the formation of reading mediators and reading subjects. Theoretical background: it was based on the theoretical conceptions of Almeida Júnior (1997, 2014), Gomes (2014, 2017), Petit (2008), Carvalho (2005), among others who understand reading mediation as an essential action for the formation of students. critical subjects and protagonists. Methodology: consisted of direct observation during extension actions, using the field diary as an instrument. Also, regarding data collection, we used the technique of applying a questionnaire to the members of the Lapidar Project composed of students and graduates of the Library and Archivology courses. Results: it was observed the importance of qualifying reading mediators, reinforcing the relevance of the elaboration of extension projects that allow the execution of reading mediation actions. Conclusion: It is necessary to form and strengthen collaboration and partnership networks between the university and the community, which has informational environments to support the formation of reading mediators and reading subjects.
