Monica's right (see below). Librarians don't know much about these sources as a general rule. MOST teachers haven't thought about this and aren't asking for it, and you are so busy working on what they are asking for, it's hard to find time to go beyond. I don't work with this age group any more, but when I did, I didn't find all that much interest in primary sources. There are some really incredible teachers who do amazing things; it's nice to hear from them about what you can do if you put your mind to it! But it's not that typical. I don't think it's also as bad as some people think; most people don't use historical fiction to present historical reality. It's just another mode of getting into the feeling of the period (hopefully!).
