SEC: The role of literature in the media center

[jmoskowitz <jmoskowi@IWORKSYS.COM>]

I am a recent library school graduate and am currently looking for my
first
position as a SLMS. I am hoping to get a position at the elementary
level,
but due to the fact that schools are not burning up my phone wire to
call me
for an interview I have widened my scope to the secondary level. I have
an
interview at a smallish private high school next week. I am not very
familiar with library programs at the secondary level and am trying to
find
as much information as I can. I have searched the archives but I would
appreciate your direct feedback as well.


That's quite the introduction to a question...which is: What role does
literature play at the middle and high school level? I know that often
the
LMS reads to her/his classes at the elementary level, but what about the

secondary level? Is the LMS role basically study skills and reference
work
at this level? Thank you for your feedback.
