009 - Misinformation & Sanctuary in a High School Library (w/Lucas Maxwell, Glenthorne High)
Description
For the final episode of the series, we are joined by Lucas Maxwell, school librarian at Glenthorne High School in Sutton, who welcomed us to the Glenthorne school library for a short conversation about the challenges of running a welcoming school library, that provides students with a safe space and helps them develop the tools to recognise misinformation when online, something Lucas believes is the biggest challenge facing young people today.
We also touched upon the school and public library system in the UK and how it differs from Lucas' home in Canada, the culture shock of entering an English high school and the wide-ranging activities and opportunities the library offers to students.
