The Library is a public facility that assumes, in the community, the role of an information
and reading center, being a democratic institution by contributing to the social and
economic differences between those who have knowledge and those who do not have
access to it. It is the space that provides the development of reading practices and the
formation of critical readers, which contributes to the flourishing of citizenship. Given
this, this final graduation paper presents a proposal for the development of na
architectural project for a public library in the city of Palmas, capital of the State of
Tocantins, which currently has small scale libraries. The methodology adopted for the
elaboration of the study was the hypothetical-deductive method, which was developed
in stages, based on bibliographical research, study of related projects such as design
references, diagnosis of the current conditions of the site and surroundings, and a
survey of the needs of a library. As a result, the proposal developed, in addition to
offering a qualified environment for the library to function, becomes a focal point for
recognition and local identity. Note that this equipment can produce much more than
the cultural insertion in a community, public libraries are necessary for life in cities and
have an important role in the development of knowledge.
