Target: Choosing Elemantary or Middle

[Scott Williams <williams@lynchburg.net>]

Hi, I am Pam Williams.  I am currently in my third year as a LM
Specialist of an elementary school.  Before this position, I taught for
20 years at the middle school level.  I loved middle school before
moving to elementary but the library position was available, so I
somewhat reluctantly made the move.  Now, a middle school library
position will likely be available next year and I am unsure if I should
request a transfer.  I have consulted librarian friends but most of them
have been elementary or middle and have not spent time im both
environments.  I want to hear from those of you who have been LM
Specialists in different types of schools and at different grade
levels.  I really want to know first hand, what are the percieved
advantages and disadvantages of different grade levels?  Has anyone
moved from elementary to middle and regrets doing so?  Please help.  I
will post a HIT for anyone else who may be interested in this topic.
