PBS News Student Reporting Labs ‘On Our Minds’ Podcast Returns

We were big fans of “On Our Minds” last season, especially its prompt to teens: “Who Inspires You?” For high school students Marium Zahra and Aruja Misra from El Paso, Texas, it was their school librarian, who is beloved on campus for his outgoing personality and for being a proponent of reading banned books. We invited Zahra and Misra to join us on our “How I Library” podcast to discuss their experiences on the show and their school librarian. It was an illuminating conversation with some incredible young minds.
