%X this paper presents the historical description of the public library of maranh£¿o, and the economical, political and social situation of the state of maranh£¿o in the 19th century, which has contributed for creation of the library. it also points out the factors that caused the failure of the library and its re-emergence in the beginning of the first republic, a period marked by a social-cultural identity of progressivism. in addition, this work presents the main educational aspects that existed in the library under antonio lobo's management. the method used is characterized as historical-descriptive, and it is based in the analyses and descriptions of the presidential reports of maranh£¿o related to the 19th and early 20th centuries. therefore, the study shows that the history of the library of maranh£¿o was marked by difficulties related to the lack of interest from the government to provide the necessary conditions to promote culture.
