Check out everything that happened at Rodman Public Library in 2022 by watching our annual year-end video.

Imagine being stuck out in Winter Storm Elliott, the “bomb cyclone” that gripped much of the country just before Christmas with its gusty winds and arctic temperatures.

Meet Melissa Weisent, who has been at RPL for 10 years, starting as a page and adding maintenance assistant six years ago to become a full-time employee. As a page, she helps return all items that have been returned to the library to their proper places on the shelves and pack and unpack SEO items. She also cleans both the Main and Branch libraries.

Here are some things to know about Melissa:

Three of Rodman Public Library’s most popular children’s programs will provide lots of winter fun when they return for a 12-week run this month.

The programs – Wee Read, Storytime, and Family Fun Nights -- will run between January 16 and April 6 at the Main Library.

Take a look at some pictures of our "refreshed" children's space.

The new year brings big changes to the children’s department at Rodman Public Library.

Rodman Public Library will mark the beginning of a new year with the screening of one of the biggest superhero films of the previous year.
