Host Tayla talks with Alicia from the University of Rhode Island, Dymond from Bryant University, and Olivia from Salve Regina University about the services and resources that their libraries offer to first generation college students to help them succeed in higher education. They also get into queer picture books for children and the joys of action movies. In the Last Chapter they discuss: would you rather only be able to read books written before the 20th century or after?

Before we launched Overdueing It, our team collectively produced over three hundred episodes of both Down Time with Cranston Public Library and Rhody Radio podcasts. This week, we’re bringing you the first ITEM RENEWAL, where we share an excerpt from these archives. In this bonus episode, we’re taking you back to the Providence Children’s Museum with an episode of Down Time first published in March of 2022. Host Tayla talks with Shayna and Caroline from PCM about how there’s no wrong way to visit the Children’s Museum. You’ll also hear our Last Chapter segment, wherein we discuss: What is a book from your childhood that stands the test of time?
