[LM_NET] Target: MS/HS: How have you created a Welcoming Atmosphere in the Library?

[JK GREER <irismedia@MSN.COM>]

I am interviewing for a position (in a middle school) that has not had a librarian 
for multiple years.  Also, has had policies in place where the library has not been 
seen as a place that students wanted to be.  My question is: How have you created a 
welcoming atmosphere?  What programs?  What policies?  What furniture arrangement?  
Scheduling?
 
How would/do you work the above in with having a couple of schedule classes that 
would close the library.  How would/do you get staff to view that there is a change 
in atmosphere with the hiring of a new person?
 
I thank you in advance for any help that you can provide.JaKay Greer
