This article aims to retrieve, prominently, two experiences of short duration academic work at UFMG: mobile car-library at ECI \ UFMG and the implementation of the Public Libraries and the Mobile Library COLTEC \ UFMG. To these experiences still added up the information on the extension activities through mobile car-library, held within the State Public Library Luiz de Bessa and the SESC. By reviewing these experiences, it becomes evident the importance of these actions for the communities, but also reveals the difficulties / limitations to the continuation and expansion of these services which are of a significant nature to the population. Yet, it highlights that the projects aimto enable access to reading in communities with socio-cultural needs, and on the other sideit demonstrates, critically, the reality and challenges of Caparaóand Alto Caparaó municipalitiesin the administration and maintenance of libraries installed. Yet it is argued, as a significant aspect, the need to articulate the communities, in order to claim together with public service managers the rights of the population.
