My research project concerns the cultural dimension of the Danish school library. It consists partly of a theoretical section, in which I try to discover how the school library can contribute to the cultural education of students. It also consists of an empirical section, in which I try to sketch a picture of the school librarians' perception of their own practice as cultural intermediaries. Initially in this paper I will present one small part of the theory and then I will consider one of the questions from a questionnaire used in a survey carried out in the autumn of 2001: activities organised to process culture through the school library.
