Is it possible to use the Photos App on the Apple TV to view the library and albums of a 2nd user? Even if the second user is active on the Apple TV, the Photos App still shows only the Photos library of the default user. I had hoped to be able to switch between the 2 users' Photos libraries on the Apple TV.

These users may share albums with each other.

So if the second user shares an album with the default user it will be visible under Shared Albums in the default user's library on the Apple TV Photos App?
Yes.
Do you know whether the same applies to Sharing the Library (post MacOS Ventura)?
I haven’t tried, but that seems to be one of the purposes. Do let us know.

I will try library sharing but not very soon. Second user's iMac is running Ventura, but default user's 27" iMac is stuck on Catalina until I give up waiting for Apple to bring out a 27" iMac and settle for a 24".
More seriously, on trying to use shared albums from the 2nd user, I discovered that Photos on the Apple TV is still showing shared albums that were deleted in my iMac Photos App months and even years ago. These albums still have low res photos in them - evidently stored locally - but the images do not refresh from iCloud or from the iMac. Do you know why this might be so, and how I can purge them?
