Second, they will all be guest readers during the Who Are The People In Your Neighborhood Storytime at the Rodman Branch Library in May. Sessions are held each Tuesday at 10:30 a.m. through May 30 with a theme of “All Together Now,” a preview of the 2023 Summer Reading Program that kicks off on the day of the final storytime.
