In this episode, we interview school librarian Lucas Maxwell. Lucas works at Glenthorne secondary school in London. He has been the librarian there for nine years and won school librarian of the year! For the first 11 minutes of the podcast, Lucas tells us about how he became a school librarian. He then lets us know how he transformed the library into a space the students enjoyed coming to and what he plans to do with his library moving forward. Follow Lucas on twitter @lucasjmaxwell
