The research problem is: What is the impact of the bebeteca in the routine of the CEI João Vitorino? The methodology is qualitative, of a descriptive approach. The data collection instrument was a semi-structured interview applied to the teachers of the CEI. The data analysis was in accordance with the content analysis, according to Franco (2008). As a result, it is evidenced that there was an impact on the CEI considering that going to the bebeteca began to be part of the routine of the classes, with a defined time, guaranteeing the right of the child to the reading of the literary. It was observed that there was a movement with the reading mediators in the elaboration of the project, before and during the implementation of the bebeteca, an action that generates a belonging and feeds back the reflection on the group’s own action.
