Library program change announced The Tea @ Two on Tuesdays program at the Glen Rock Library will no longer be meeting each week. A replacement program, Tea and Talk @ Two on Tuesdays Book Discussion, will meet the third Tuesday of each month. The Nov. 17 discussion will be about the book “Cooking Dirty: A Story of Life, Sex, Love, and Death in the Kitchen” by Jason Sheehan. Sheehan is a James Beard award-winning food writer at Westword, Denver’s alternative weekly newspaper. His memoir is about a straight blue-collar gig, where the kitchens are staffed by the kind of guys who like the fact that the work is grueling. The library is located at 315 Rock Road, Glen Rock.
