도서관은 사회적 변화와 요구에 따라 그 역할이 점점 확대되고 있으며, 특히 어린이도서관에서 실시하는 문화프로그램에 대한 관심 또한 높아지고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 어린이도서관의 가치, 기능구현에 문화프로그램이 어떤 역할을 수행하고 있는지 살펴보기 위해 국립어린이청소년도서관과 서울특별시교육청 어린이도서관 웹 사이트를 조사하여 현재 실시하고 있는 문화프로그램의 현황을 주제별, 이용대상별로 내용 분석하였다. 분석 결과 어린이도서관은 독서교육과 문화적 매개공간의 기능을 하고 있으며 향후 공공도서관에서 문화프로그램을 기획하고 운영하는데 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
