This study aimed to map the impact of public policies disseminated through the BiblioRede Bahia Program to support the territorialization of actions focused on books and reading. Methodologically, it is a descriptive research, developed through a case study, using document analysis and a qualitative-quantitative approach. The investigation focused on two cultural public policies aimed at libraries: the Aldir Blanc National Policy for the Promotion of Culture (PNAB) and the National Program for Books and Didactic Materials (PNLD +Bibliotecas). The results show that the BiblioRede Bahia Program acts as an important instrument for democratizing access to public policies, strengthening partnerships with municipalities and promoting social inclusion, cultural development, and access to information. It concludes that the initiative contributes to the strengthening of libraries and to the consolidation of a more integrated and accessible reading network throughout the state of Bahia.
