RANGELEY — The Rangeley Public Library will offer two programs to wind up August, one on the impact of fake news, the other a two-hours Windows 10 course.
Journalist and Washington insider Chet Lunner will speak about the impact of “fake news” at 6 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 29, as part of the “World in Your Library” lecture series.
Lunner has a unique, 360-degree perspective on fake news, the First Amendment, and an inside-the-beltway view of the national government, having been a Maine newspaper editor, Congressional chief of staff, 9/11 press secretary, homeland security intelligence officer and staffer to four Cabinet secretaries. He worked with, or consulted for USA Today, the U.S. Congress, the TSA and DHS.
The program is free, and sponsored by the Maine Humanities Council and the Margaret Chase Smith Foundation.
On Thursday, Aug. 30, Scott Hatfield will teach a two-hour course on the use of Windows 10, beginning at 10 a.m.
The class will cover the basic use of a Windows 10 operating system, including managing programs, windows, files and security. Computer users of all experience levels are welcome. The class is free, but limited to 20 participants.
Call the library at 207-864-5529 or stop by to sign up for either event.
