[LM_NET] literacy vs. library

[Charna Gross <charna51@HOTMAIL.COM>]

Does someone have a pithy way to explain the difference between literacy and 
library?
 
 I noticed that the teachers at my school, when talking about "outer" disciplines 
talk about art, music, PE and literacy, but not library. I feel that we school 
librarians/media specialists are teaching information skills and promoting the love 
of reading, but that is not quite the same as literacy. The teachers are also 
putting use of the Internet into library skills- and that doesn't quite define what 
I do either. 
 
Any ideas?
 
Thanks
