| Resumo: | The purpose of this paper is to analyze the term “community library” in the librarianship literature and its relationship with the kinds of libraries identified by the area.

The conclusion is that community library, due to its particularity, represents today in the Brazilian society a new type of library, because they are organized according with principles of autonomy, flexibility and local network. The paper also highlights that participation is more linked to the cultural action rather than to the organization services and information treatment.
