Obituary of Lynda Brown from the Deauville Inn


Very sad news from Strathmere, Lynda Carpenter Brown of the Deauville Inn passed on 10/21/17.
Lynda was a loyal friend, kind and generous, always willing to help whenever you needed it. She was super hard working and she was the force behind the Deauville Inn. Her Father had a dream to take the run down old hotel and make it a success, and Linda helped to make it a reality. She did a lot for our little town and she will be greatly missed.

Fake News and Libraries
Americans struggle to decide what news source they should trust. A recent Pew Research Center Poll shows that the majority of adults find libraries helpful in this search. And surprisingly Millennials are the most ardent library fans.

How to spot fake news (a quick guide):
• Consider the Source (investigate the site, its mission and contact info.)
• Check the Author (Are they credible? Are they real?)
• Check the Date (Reposting of old stories doesn’t mean they’re relevant.)
• Check your Biases (Do your own beliefs affect your judgment?) • Read beyond (Headlines an be outrageous to grab your attention. What’s the whole story?)
• Supporting Sources (Click on those links. Does the info. actually support the story?)
• Is it a Joke? (It might be satire.)
• Ask the Experts (Ask a librarian or consult a fact-checking site.)
